Zeena Johar started SughaVazhvu in 2009 to provide better healthcare to those living in rural India. Since then, the organization has served more than 65,000 patients in 57 villages, but Johar and her fellow founders are seeking to grow the organization to reach 1 million lives. Nevertheless, SughaVazhvu is not self-sustainable. The challenge facing Zohar and students is to find strategies to make the organization self-sustainable and scale the model.
