User:Sparsha charitable trust

The year 2000A.D marks the beginning of this trust, name Sparsha charitable trust, trust emerged with keeping a blazing goal in it’s eyes to bring out a revolutionary changes. the goal was to educate & empower economically marginalized groups in Maharashtra.

Earlier we have initiated some projects on providing holistic health services to the poor people in Nasik district. Simultaneously we have initiated group of children & women who are sacrificing their life, childhood for their existence.

After putting a view in the surrounding to the kids who had starting jobs such as selling pins& artificial jewellery in the trains, polising shoes,selling vegetables etc. Our moto is to get these children their rights to education & let them live happy & joyful life too. After completing MSW, Sarika desai started her journey of educating these helpless kids. She toiled hard to teach these children wherever possible may it be under a tree or in temple or on Open Street & on platforms.

Tha Journey slowly got momentum in its progress. Now as on today. there is a branch name d Sanskarvarga. This social classroom always strives hard to make the kids smarter & stronger emotionally, physically, as well as mentally to give them a strong basic knowledge for them to servive in this cut throat compitative world.

The results of the hard work put in are also very good. Many kids who wanted to willingly go to school also were paid special attention. A firm feeling has also arose in the mind of parents & students that Sanskar is doing something really revolutionary for us. Not obly in academics but this insititution helps the kids& take them to various trips & educational picnics, set up free medical check up camp for kids, discussion are held too, Annual programmes are conducted & fesivels along with a summer camp vacations are set up.

Education’, Health’ and ‘Awareness towards Own Rights’ are the key factors, which can change a sculpt of our society. In spite of all efforts and even after 55 years of independence more than 50 percent of our population is illiterate. The health scenario of our country is nastiest regardless of slogans like “Health For All by 2000 A.D.” Due to lack of education the people are unaware of their civil liberties especially women who are always disregarded since centuries. Some constructive work with proactive strategy is the need of society. With this notion the ‘Saprsha Charitable Trust’ was established in 2000.
