Mission, Vision & Values

Our Mission

The mission of the Sodhi Foundation is to support research into innovative and effective therapies for neuropsychiatric disorders, such as PTSD and depression, through the study and application of psychedelic substances like DMT. In addition, the foundation is dedicated to reducing educational disparities in remote communities in India and Colombia by providing quality early childhood education to empower children and give them the tools they need to thrive.

 

Our foundation recognizes the profound impact that neuropsychiatric disorders have on individuals and their families. Conditions like PTSD and depression can significantly hinder one’s quality of life and daily functioning. Traditional treatments are not always effective for everyone, which is why we are committed to exploring and supporting the development of novel therapeutic approaches. Psychedelic substances, such as DMT, have shown promising potential in recent research, and we aim to back rigorous scientific studies to understand their mechanisms and efficacy better.

Furthermore, the Sodhi Foundation is devoted to addressing educational inequalities that persist in remote and underserved areas of India and Colombia. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to receive a quality education, regardless of their geographic location or socioeconomic status. Our programs focus on early childhood education, providing young learners with nurturing environments, essential resources, and foundational skills. By doing so, we strive to empower these children to reach their full potential, break the cycle of poverty, and contribute positively to their communities and society at large.

Our mission is holistic, targeting both mental health and education, as we understand that well-being and knowledge are interconnected. We support comprehensive approaches that consider the individual’s mental, emotional, and educational needs, ensuring a brighter and more equitable future for all.

Our Vision

We aspire to a future where therapies based on cutting-edge research, such as the use of psychedelics, are accessible and effective in treating neuropsychiatric disorders, significantly improving people’s mental and emotional well-being. Furthermore, we envision a world where all children, regardless of their geographic location or socioeconomic status, have access to a quality education that enables them to reach their full potential and contribute positively to their communities and the world.

In this envisioned future, the Sodhi Foundation will play a pivotal role in revolutionizing mental health care by supporting the development and implementation of groundbreaking therapies. We see a world where individuals suffering from PTSD, depression, and other neuropsychiatric conditions can find relief and healing through scientifically validated treatments. Our efforts will help to reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues and promote a broader acceptance of innovative therapeutic approaches.

Simultaneously, we are committed to fostering educational excellence and equity. Our vision includes thriving communities in India and Colombia where children are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to pursue their dreams. By ensuring access to high-quality early childhood education, we aim to close the educational gap and provide every child with the foundation they need for lifelong success.

We believe that education is a powerful tool for social change. Our programs will not only focus on academic excellence but also on cultivating critical thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence. These attributes will prepare children to navigate and contribute to an increasingly complex and interconnected world.

Ultimately, the Sodhi Foundation’s vision encompasses a holistic approach to human development. We strive to create a world where scientific innovation and educational empowerment go hand in hand, leading to healthier, more educated, and more resilient communities. Through our dedicated efforts, we aim to make a lasting impact on the lives of individuals and the broader society, fostering a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
