Focus areas
Each line of work is designed to leave something a household can still use a year later: a skill, a saving, a school habit, a cleaner bill.
Literacy is treated as a public good, not a privilege reserved for those who can already pay for it. Reading rooms, first-generation learner support, and practical help to schools already doing the hard work across the country.
Most families we meet do not lack courage. They lack a clear, nearby path to preventive care. Health camps, nutrition awareness and family wellbeing — modern public health, explained in the language of the household.
A district full of young people is not automatically a district full of livelihoods. Livelihood workshops, mentoring, and the Leva Sports Club Federation as a corridor for talent that has nowhere else to go.
A household energy saving that a woman cannot control is not a livelihood. Self-help groups, livelihood training and leadership for women and girls.
Climate work that cannot be walked to from a village is not climate work we will sign. Local greening, water and soil awareness, and community care for land.
Traditional welfare hands over assistance. This model helps a family permanently reduce a recurring bill. Rooftop solar, cleaner cooking, women at the centre of the training.
Alongside the work
The six programmes stand. These three lines of effort keep them moving — with elders, with knowledge, and with partners who already hold the ground.
Later years should not mean a smaller life. The Foundation is advancing dignified care for elders — including the planned 200-studio Senior Citizens Home at the Dream World Religious Centre, Khuntuni — so companionship, health and purpose remain part of the day.
A camp that leaves no skill behind it is only a visit. We build capacity in classrooms, clinics, self-help groups and local institutions, and we share what works so a household can still use it a year later.
No public trust should invent a parallel system. We expand partnerships with schools, PHCs, panchayats, federations and national allies — and we coordinate so effort is not duplicated and a saving is not spent twice.
Field record
The six programmes are the plan. These photographs are the first camps, classrooms and visits held with partners — health, children’s welfare, community presence and women’s workplace safety.
“Give the Gift of Life,” organised with Rotary Club of Bhubaneswar Neeladri (District 3262), HDFC Bank, Gayatridevi Group, FICCI FLO and Red Cross partners. Donors received certificates of appreciation for voluntary blood donation.
Trustees and volunteers visited a children’s home: supplies packed, a birthday marked for Raj, cakes shared on the stairs, and a meal served on steel thalis in the dining hall.
A gathering at a historic temple precinct. Community work begins where people already stand.
Awareness sessions on the Prevention of Sexual Harassment Act: recognising forms of harassment, and the legal meaning of “workplace” — including client sites, off-site meetings and virtual settings.
