Purvi Padia has lived life by following her inspiration and intuition. Purvi’s most profound inspirations have always come from her parents – their strength, their perseverance, their humanitarianism and their connection to India.
Purvi Padia is a first generation Indian American, whose parents were both physicians who studied in India and later immigrated to the United States. They came to the U.S. with the dream of offering unlimited opportunities to their future children.
Designed by interior designer Purvi Padia in partnership with UNICEF USA, Project Lion is a multi-year effort that’s committed to providing displaced children in with food, health care, education, and access to long-term family care. This critical program will ensure that thousands of children left without family care can be given a second chance to grow in loving, stable, nurturing and protective environments.
Inspired by the true story of Saroo Brierley, who at the age of five became separated from his family, was taken into an orphanage after surviving for weeks on the streets, and ultimately adopted by a family in Australia as captured in the film, “Lion,” UNICEF USA has developed a new program, Project Lion.
