There are two ways to describe Ginny’s Planet.

One, as a social enterprise founded by two social work professionals in 2019 with the dream to build a world where nobody feels like an odd-one-out & where being different is okay! The aim is to simplify & trigger conversations on empathy, diversity, & disability – especially with children (& people of other ages).

Second, as the planet where Ginny lives and all of you are welcome! Ginny is a 4 yr old with a radial club hand. She wears spectacles to see the world better, loves the rain and jumping in puddles, and also playing with football. On Ginny’s Planet, imperfections are okay, being different is okay, and everyone has opportunities to flourish. Ginny’s Planet is actually the world where nobody is made to feel odd-one-out!

Ginny’s Planet was launched in 2019 was two social work professionals who have worked in diverse fields.

Shweta Verma, C-Founder & CEO,  has worked in the area of disability rights,  mental health, gender and child rights since 2002. Her research degree (PhD) helps her take the workshops on research & inquiry forward with children. She trained herself to be a social entrepreneur through fellowships with SSE India (2019) and STEP (Shakti-The Empathy Project) 2020.

Jamal, Co-Founder & Director of Operations (Pro-Bono) has worked on issues of public health, livelihoods, and governance in various international organizations. He was a fellow of 2019 cohort of the India Inclusion Fellowship Program. He is also an alumnus of the Aritra Leadership Acceleration Program.

Ginny’s Planet actually works in a hybrid model.  We aim to become self-sustainable and hence offer paid services and offerings to everyone who is eligible to pay. The revenue from sales, as well as the contribution of sponsors, helps us work without charge with some of our partner NGOs and others on specific programs.
