Ketan N. Parekh:

Having three children, Ketan knows and understands the value of the role a parent plays in nurturing children's lives.

Ketan was fortunate to be born and raised in a loving affluent family that believes in reaching out to the less fortunate. Although raised in the USA since the age of 15, he continually travels to India.

As a result of the active role in social service by his family members living in India, Ketan is one of the lucky individuals who not only knew Mother Teresa, but supported her work as well.

He has seen first hand what happens to abandoned and orphaned children living on the street. According to Ketan, the conditions in India for abandoned children are at least 100 times worse than in the USA. This, as well as being a parent, is what motivated him to take an active role as one of the founders of Love Humanity.

In his business life, Ketan utilizes his decades of rock-solid management experience in the technology arena to serve as president and CEO of two IT companies: NETINFO, Inc and Fosterconnect. Under Ketan's dynamic leadership, NETINFO helps its clients fundamentally change the way they do business. In addition to driving the company's strategic direction, his primary focus is to enable NETINFO's clients to fully capitalize on the incredible opportunities presented by the digital economy.

Recently, Ketan combined his love for children and his technology acumen to build a software company, Fosterconnect, dedicated to providing data management solutions for the Foster Care Industry. Fosterconnect is an ASP solution, which empowers social workers to spend more time focusing on providing care to children instead of being over-burdened with paperwork.

Prior to leading NETINFO, Ketan was directly responsible for building Forbes Computer Group into a $20 Million dollar systems integrator. Clients included such high profile names as Rockwell, Sony, JPL and Catalina Marketing.

Ketan is a charter member of TIE (The Indus Entrepreneurs). He holds a Masters degree in International management from Thunderbird and Oxford University.

Ketan was born in India and migrated along with his parents and siblings to the USA. He is married, has three children and lives in southern, California.

Ketan Parekh, an Indo-American, joins Louise Williams, an American, to form Love Humanity India for the purpose of addressing two issues in India: child abuse and neglect and homeless children.
...
Her answer without hesitation was, ‘I would go to India and create homes for children.' Parekh then encouraged her to do just that by saying that if she went to India and found people wanting to participate, he would help raise money in the United States so the work could begin.

Taking Parekh at his word, Williams closed up her affairs, went to India, began reviewing research on orphans and found that, according to a study entitled Children on the Brink 2002 by USAID, there were 26 million orphans in India between the ages of birth and 14 years of age.In addition, a different study found that 42.5% of India's children suffer from physical abuse-2 out of 4 girls, and 1 out of 6 boys are sexually abused, while 49.1% of India's children are severely psychologically abused.

These figures astounded Williams, and she knew that in order for these children to become self-sufficient adults instead of a burden on society something had to be done, so she began sharing with individuals both in India and the U.S. the extent of the problems of child neglect and abuse in India.Williams, a former advertising executive who owned her own firm, grew up in a family with abuse and later having a woman teach her how to parent her own daughter knows first hand that child abuse can be prevented by teaching those who care for children how to care for them in a loving, safe manner.In regards to orphans and neglect, it is important to provide as close to a normal homely family environments so these children are loved and encouraged so they can grow into self-sufficient adults.

In response, Williams and Parekh founded Love Humanity India, a new charitable organization in Maharashtra, India for the purpose of empowering children.
