About Dipti Patel

Driven by my love for children, I’ve committed myself to the Art of Living Free Schools project to ensure no child misses out on a safe and happy childhood. My goal is to turn maternal empathy into practical action for those who need it most. I’m passionate about Art of Living Free Schools because I believe every child deserves the same love and opportunities I strive to give my own children. My background in accounting will allow me to provide the strategic oversight needed to grow the project reach and ensure long-term stability for the children we serve.
