About us

Established in February 2022, the Shanti शांति Foundation is a non-governmental organization launched by actress, historian and philanthropist Satine Queeni. Shanti works for frequent and varied projects worldwide such as the anti-war movement, protecting the planet and endangered animals, historic preservation and justice for everyone everywhere.


Meaning of Shanti

Inspired by the late 1960s counterculture, associated especially with the "peace and love" hippie movement, Satine Queeni decided to name her foundation "Peace" in the Hindi language, which translates to shanti (शांति).


"I felt like somethings needed to be done in the world. If I can help people in need, I'll do it."

-Satine Queeni





Long live the good old days.
