Mission

Sathi Plus Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that no South Asian elder in New York City spends their later years in loneliness, confusion, or want. We provide culturally sensitive companionship, nutritious vegetarian meals, transportation, benefits assistance, wellness activities, and joyful community gatherings - in Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Nepali, and English - so that our seniors age with dignity, connection, and the familiar tastes, sounds, and traditions of home.

Vision

A New York where every South Asian elder feels seen, celebrated, and cared for like family.

Our Story

Founded in 2025 by New Yorkers who saw their own parents struggle with language barriers and isolation, Sathi Plus is built on the simple belief that growing old should never mean growing alone.
