Every Child Deserves a Healthy Heart
Small Lives, Bigger Tomorrows
Helping children with congenital and acquired heart diseases access timely diagnosis, expert treatment, and life-saving cardiac care.
About Us
Little Lives Foundation
Connecting Families. Supporting Hope. Saving Little Lives.
Little Lives Foundation is not a hospital or a registered charitable trust. We are an independent awareness and patient-support initiative that works collaboratively with healthcare institutions, NGOs, charitable organizations, and pediatric cardiac specialists.
Every year, thousands of children are born with congenital heart disease. Many of these conditions are treatable—but delayed diagnosis, financial challenges, and limited awareness often prevent timely treatment.
Our mission is to bridge this gap by guiding families to experienced specialists and available support programs.

Founder Profile
Meet the Founder
Ishant Singh Saini
Founder | Little Lives Foundation
“Healthcare is not just about treating diseases—it is about ensuring that no family feels alone during one of the most difficult journeys of their lives.”
With over five years of experience in healthcare administration, patient care coordination, and hospital operations, Ishant Singh Saini founded Little Lives Foundation with a powerful vision: to ensure that every child with a treatable heart condition has the opportunity to receive timely, expert care—regardless of financial circumstances.
Throughout his career in leading cardiac centers, Ishant witnessed a recurring challenge—many children with congenital heart disease reached specialist care too late due to limited awareness, delayed referrals, or financial barriers.
These experiences inspired him to establish Little Lives Foundation as an independent awareness and patient-support initiative connecting families with specialists, hospitals, NGOs, and financial assistance programs.
Vision from the Founder
“Every child deserves the chance to run, play, dream, and grow with a healthy heart. If we can help even one family find hope, timely treatment, and the right support, our mission is worth every effort.”
