Our Story
“Every child we have helped had one thing in common — they weren’t lacking ability. They were lacking a chance.”
In 2013, a small group of ordinary people in Palghar, Maharashtra decided they were done feeling helpless. They saw children skipping meals so siblings could eat. They saw families choosing between medicine and rent. They saw students with extraordinary minds dropping out because fees were overdue by two hundred rupees.
So they started — with a kitchen, a handful of volunteers, and the stubborn belief that organised, consistent effort can change what feels unchangeable.
Today, over a decade later, we run six active programs across 8 states. We have served over 50,000 meals, awarded over 340 scholarships, funded surgeries for critically ill children, and provided emergency relief to flood-affected families. Our measure of success is never the numbers. It is the single child in a classroom who wouldn’t have been there without us.
Our Vision
We envision an India where every child — regardless of caste, class, religion, or geography — is nurtured to grow up healthy, educated, and full of possibility.
Our Mission
We inspire individuals to embrace responsibility and drive change through unified action, unlocking every child’s full potential.
Our Numbers
We publish our full financial accounts every year without exception. Transparency is not optional at CEVF — it is the foundation of everything we do.
