About us

Mahavir International, Vadodara Kendra - Mahavir Foundation Trust (MFT) - was established in 2000 with the motto "Love All – Serve All" and is part of the large and well-established social organization, Mahavir International (MI) with over 400 centres all over India and other parts of the world (Australia, UK, USA etc). Since its inception, the Kendra has undertaken a large number of activities with particular emphasis on education, health as well as supporting the needy (in addition to our immediate as well as long-term involvement in mitigating the miseries of the victims of the earthquake that shook Gujarat on January 2001).

What we do

• Interest-free loan programmes for higher education.
• Mentor Sponsor Programme covers very bright and needy students from Std. 10th onwards.
• Street-to-School Initiative
Health:
• Continued working with Mental Hospital patients to prevent recurrence of the illness.
• Medical Check-ups in Adopted Schools.
• Dental Checkups and treatment.
• We have tied up with Hariom Seva Trust to help the needy families for medical treatment at Sayaji Hospital in Vadodara.
• Larger coverage of beneficiary family needs through networking.
Helping the Needy – Samvedana: Samvedana, is a sub group of MI. The primary objective of this group is to help recycle and reuse articles from well-to-do urban homes and bring them to the less fortunate homes of our society. Our motto is to love and to serve all while respecting their dignity. At MI-Samvedana, we collect articles from our generous donors and bring them to our collection centers. Here we carefully sort them out in groups, if necessary; add value to it by repairing/stitching the article; and then distributing to the needy through our channels.
