About Us

Vision

A nation practicing kindness and compassion.

Mission

To promote the compassionate treatment of people and animals through education, advocacy, and sustainable interventions.

Our Journey

Qi To Happiness Foundation began in 2020 with a simple belief: that love can create a kinder way for humans and animals to coexist.

The founders came together with the idea that compassion should shape the way we live, care and support one another. What started as a shared vision soon grew into a dream project working towards the same goal: creating spaces where empathy, dignity and healing are possible.

To support individuals with developmental disabilities and mental health issues, the Essential Supportive Interventions (ESI) program was created. Through structured, evidence-based therapeutic interventions, the program brings together psychology, community engagement and joyful therapeutic experiences. It also pioneered Animal Assisted Therapy in Gujarat, with our trained and certified therapy dogs — Imli, Kulfi, Maska and Malai — helping bring joy, warmth and motivation into therapeutic spaces.

The Qi Animal Sanctuary was established to provide permanent care for rescued animals while also creating opportunities for people to engage with them through humane education and compassionate learning experiences. The objective was to cultivate the cognitive capacity, emotional capacity and behavioural resources necessary to attempt to alleviate the discomfort of others.

Today, these two programs continue to grow through the dedication of people who have built them from the ground up — guided by one simple intention: kindness.
