I've been doing things that don't scale for at least a decade. When I started my nonprofit in Mumbai in 2012, people told me what I was doing was too small. "You're ONLY changing the lives of 100 children at a time"

The nonprofit still runs (a great local team runs it). We've done more in 12 years than anyone who told us we had no impact.

The only validation I need is that whenever I visit parts of Mumbai, there are kids who know that 'singapore didi' will find a way to help them pay for school. 2800 kids now, but I stopped counting. Scaling prematurely and seeing the macro picture works for some people / orgs but I feel it misses out on the individuals in question. I know the stories of the people the org has helped. I know their families. That matters to me.
