Narges Ashtari

Narges Kalbasi Ashtari (Persian: نرگس کلباسی اشتری, born 21 March 1988, Esfahan), founder of the Prishan Foundation, is a British citizen, originally from Iran.

Ashtari grew up and went to school in Exeter, Devon. In 2010, she set up the Prishan Foundation, named after a blind Sri Lankan boy that Ashtari met,[1] with the aim of 'improving the lives of orphans and abandoned children around the world'. The foundation has built an orphanage for girls in the Rayagada district of Odisha and a home for blind children in Mukundapur in India.[1][2]
