Realising a healthy world requires accelerated access to quality medicines for the masses. Our outreach programmes are focused on long-term, sustainable development for the underprivileged communities. The Foundation is involved in getting to the bottom of pressing challenges plaguing the society and bringing solutions to them.
We are running the following community upliftment programmes.
Adopting Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya
The residential school is dedicated to caring for disenfranchised girl children and provide better facilities for them to grow in a safe and uplifting environment. We make every effort to ensure that the children there have all the sustenance support they need and fund essentials, including books, linens, solar lamps, among others.
The initiative is our effort to raise fierce, resilient and empowered girls. We impart key lessons on crucial subjects like personal hygiene, menstruation, physical fitness, and so on to these children. Regular eye and health check-ups f help us ensure that they are given adequate nutrition and care. We have appointed a coach to teach the children to play Football.
Fatehsinh Arya Ananth Ashram Adoption
The Foundation adopted the ashram in Karelibaug, Vadodara to enable orphaned and destitute children in their holistic development process. Multiple recreational activities, competitions and field trips are organised to keep the children engaged and ready them for the opportunities that await them in the world. Continuous efforts are made to maintain the infrastructure across the campus.

I am a member of Jay Mataji Sakhi Mandal, a local SHG formed by the women in Parekhpura village with support from our Foundation. The money saved through the schemes that we have outlined for ourselves helped me fund and complete my daughter's education.
