About Us
Who We Are?
Started in 2003 by Sonia Mackwani, Touching Lives is a non-profit organization based in Mumbai, India. We work towards Learning and Healing of children and people of slum communities, supporting them to become independent learners.
School of Self Work
We majorly focus on two BIG aspects of our lives - ‘LEARNING ’ and ‘HEALING.’ These two aspects are continuous life-long and life-changing processes. Each one’s journey with these processes is unique and different. When both are integrated, they help an individual to discover their gifts within, to recover from all the areas that limit them and to offer the best of them to this whole world.
Sonia Mackwani was selected as one of the winners in the #100 Women initiative by Ministry of Women and Child Development. She was felicitated at Rashtrapati Bhavan on 22nd January 2016 in the presence of Pranab Mukherjee, Hon. President of India
