As a youth icon, Sushmita has inspired a generation of Indians with her views, actions and commitment to charity. Through the I AM Foundation she is impacting a very vulnerable section of our society, and changing their lives for the better.
I AM is about giving a voice to the voiceless, empowering them to build a better life. In her unique way, Sushmita has leveraged her celebrity status to impact the everyday lives of those whose existence is a mere statistic for most.

I am Foundation has been doing wonderful work with NGO’s over the past few years now. The giving of love is an education in itself and I cannot think of anyone but the founder of I Am Foundation Ms Sushmita Sen, who has always supported underprivileged and handicapped individuals in any way she can.

The "I AM FOUNDATION” is a wonderful effort on the part of Actor/Ms. Universe and wonderful human being and friend - Sushmita Sen to give back to society, what we are so blessed to have. One realises the seriousness of this cause because it involves a person such as Sush herself, who has always practiced what she preached - be it in the course of her personal life or otherwise. I wish the "I AM" foundation all the best and would love to assist in whichever way I can, to help bring about a change in the lives of the less fortunate.

I AM Foundation and Sushmita Sen is an avid supporter for our cause. We sent an appeal for the various Sponsorship schemes running in our institute to support children and individuals from lower socio economic strata of the society. We received a generous donation of Rs. 5,00,000/- (Rs. 5 Lacs) from I Am Foundation in July 2011. This money was utilized for Sponsoring investigations & diagnosis for the cause of mental retardation in 62 individuals – (Rs 5,500/ per case)

Bollywood celebrity and Miss Universe (1994) Sushmita Sen, had visited Sandipani Muni School in August 2010 and since then, she has been one of our loyal sponsors. Through our Gift of Hope sponsorship program, I AM FOUNDATION has given opportunity to nine girls to get educated that would otherwise be only a dream. She very well understands the meaning, “Learn to be independent, educate yourself.
Education is very essential. An educated woman can touch the sky. She can live her own life."

Bal Asha Trust is extremely thankful to I AM Foundation for choosing us to reach out to abandoned and destitute children in our society. Bal Asha Trust takes care of children from age 1 to 12 years of age in its children’s home. I AM Foundation has supported us to not only provide food and care for the children, but also make interventions like medical, quality care and development for a brighter future of the children.
I AM Foundation needs to be applauded for brining organizations like Bal Asha Trust who are working at the grass root level in front position through its support for different initiatives in our society. It’s a wonderful experience to associate with Ms. Sushmita Sen, the blessing behind I AM Foundation and her team. I AM FOUNDATION not only have the will to reach out to the needy, but provide this much needed support with full dignity to the beneficiary.
Bal Asha Trust is proud to be associated with I AM Foundation and this association will keep brining smiles to the beautiful children who need our love and care.

The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), New Delhi, with support received from I AM Foundation, have extended our flagship campaign, Lighting a Billion Lives (LaBL), through establishment of Solar Charging Stations (SCS’s) in 2 villages of South, 24 Paraganas district in West Bengal, namely, Nandkumarpur and Purbasurendranagar. The SCS’s were commissioned on January 1st, 2012, to make provision for clean and affordable lighting facilities in the villages.

One of the truly most wonderful people I have met in my career, Sushmita is a true combination of compassion, brains, hands on expertise and selflessness. She is spontaneous and fearless and does what her heart tells her. This, I think is the beauty of a woman. A thorough professional, Sushmita also lends herself to support the cause that requires attention.
I congratulate her in her endeavor to succeed her mission through I AM Foundation and strongly believe she is a complete Woman of Substance.

‘India has the highest youth population in the world and this is our biggest strength today. Yet it is sad that there are many children in the country who struggle to survive. Not all of them have the access to healthy livelihood, clean drinking water, a roof over their head or even the luxury of education. I have always wanted to do my part in helping such children and making a difference to their lives. Sushmita Sen has been doing a fantastic job helping out children across the country through her associations with various organisations and I am obliged to join her. My films have always depicted reality and this sad reality is something I want to face and help better through my association with the I AM FOUNDATION’

The I AM foundation’s deepest and most heartfelt gratitude goes out to one of our biggest contributors in support of the girl child.
