About Us
In the serene eastern Himalayas, Hasina Kharbhih and Carlos Navarro Martinez's paths fatefully intertwined, giving rise to 'Journey with Purpose' . Amidst the backdrop of a world grappling with climate upheavals and the shadows of unsafe migration, they envisioned a luminous tapestry woven with threads of hope, innovation, and resolve.
Their dream wasn't just to foster ideas, but to create a sanctuary where budding innovators could sculpt revolutionary solutions, all under the nurturing wings of benevolent philanthropists. And so, 'Journey with Purpose' wasn’t just christened a mission—it became an enduring tale of passion and purpose.
Impulse NGO Network (INGON), a 35 year old organization originating from the vibrant landscapes of North-East India, was founded in 1993 by Hasina Kharbhih.
With a mission to combat the challenges of people on the move unsafe migration, exploitation, and human trafficking, INGON has since expanded its reach, bridging interventions across the eight North-Eastern states of India and North Bengal and forging collaborations and partnership and scale out in bordering nations such as Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh and Thailand.
