Present status:
We have identified some institutions that are functioning well but they need more funds to support their causes. There are institutes in which people are dedicated to social services for a lifetime and have served to support the humanitarian activities for three decades.
We were inspired by our very religious mother who took care of our mentally challenged eldest sister for 63 years as well as all seven of us with lots of love. We grew up very poor but our Mother managed with little money. She encouraged all of us to get the best education.
In 1983 we received a letter from youth Jain to sponsor a squint eye camp at Mandvi Gujarat that was the starting point in our life to get involved in a humanitarian work then we had sponsored a polio camp.
We have attended yearly camps since 1984 at Bidada Hospital, working with doctors, volunteers & trustees in various capacities.
Supporting institutions working at grassroots level in the areas of
- Providing education to the children in the slums and the tribal regions.
- Improving health standards amongst the children in regions where the mortality rate is very high due to malnutrition.
- Rehabilitation of mentally/physically challenged, hearing impaired, CP children.
- Empowering women through vocational training, helps them live their life with dignity.

- Encouraging women to join and participate in self-groups and income-generating projects.
- Supporting the NGOs who are willing to work in the poorest and most difficult areas.
