By strengthening systems across environment, education, health, and livelihoods, we are enabling communities to build resilience, dignity, and long-term opportunity.” Looking ahead, M3M Foundation aligns its next phase with the Payal@40 vision, with an ambition to launch 40 new initiatives aimed at expanding impact, strengthening innovation, and responding to evolving community needs.
