World Vegan Vision: Inspiring a Compassionate Future
Founded in 1992 by Mr. H. K. Shah and Mrs. Malti Shah, World Vegan Vision is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a vegan lifestyle. Under the leadership of Mr. Shah—an inspiring 94-year-old vegan visionary and advocate—the organization has evolved from its early focus on vegetarianism to a dedicated mission of vegan outreach since its rebranding itself in 2018. Born in Long Island, NY and now headquartered in New Jersey, World Vegan Vision has expanded its reach with active chapters in both the U.S. and India.
For over 30 years, World Vegan Vision has been a leading advocate for veganism and has been organizing impactful events. The organization has organized food festivals, hosted outreach booths at events like Rutgers Day and the Secaucus Green Festival, as well as cultural and religious celebrations, including Diwali, Maha Shivaratri, Ram Navami, and Thanksgiving. These events have taken place at prominent locations such as the South Street Seaport, various temples, and even the U.S. Capitol—all in a vegan-friendly manner. Additionally, World Vegan Vision has conducted educational seminars to further promote awareness and understanding of veganism. The organization is also known for its educational initiatives, including a monthly newsletter, prestigious guest speakers like Dr. Esselstyn, and an active community network and a WhatsApp group.
Driven by passionate volunteers, World Vegan Vision believes in the power of education to inspire a compassionate, healthy, and sustainable way of living. Join us in our mission to create a kinder world through veganism.
