About Us
Directly benefitting over 10000 children and their families every year, though more than 50 live welfare projects on education, healthcare, livelihood and women empowerment, in over 100 remote villages and slums across India.Children are the future of a nation. For an emerging country like India, development of underprivileged children holds the key to the progress of the nation itself, and their education is the cornerstone of this progress. But education for children cannot be achieved without ensuring the welfare of the family – a child can go to school regularly only when the family, particularly the mother is healthy and empowered; the child gets proper nutrition; the family has decent livelihood opportunities and a steady income. Realizing this, Sparsh charitable trust, beginning in the corridors of education, has adopted a lifecycle approach which addresses the needs of children, their families and the larger community.

Our Working Model
Sparsh Charitable Trust has evolved two working models namely, Social Venture Philanthropy (SVP) and Outreach. Depending on the necessity and circumstances, either of the models is deployed, making it one of the best non-profit organizations in India.
Social Venture Philanthropy (SVP)
Sparsh Charitable Trust has evolved a working model Social Venture Philanthropy (SVP) which is based on the successful business model of “Venture Capital”.Social Venture Philanthropy, the application of a hitherto successful business concept to the social and development sector: a concept which pertains to linking social investment strategies to charitable giving with a clear focus on achieving scalability and sustainability, creating a culture of leadership and excellence and inculcating a deep sense of accountability amongst the nonprofits.Sparsh Charitable Trust underscores the fact that helping is not simply a matter of dispersing money but of making a deep, long-term commitment and casting a hard eye on results. Under the Social Venture Philanthropy (SVP) model, Sparsh Charitable Trust identifies handholds and builds capacities of genuine grassroots NGOs to achieve accountability, sustainability, scalability, leadership. Through the SVP model, Sparsh Charitable Trust makes an effort to broad base investment in order to maximize its reach and optimize returns by approaching and strengthening a large number of like-minded individuals and organizations globally.Sparsh Charitable Trust provides seed money for launch of new projects, expansion of old projects, and also emphasizes on regular counseling, better productivity, efficiency enhancement and capacity building of grassroots NGO’s, communication and process of Good Governance.
Outreach
Sparsh Charitable Trust Outreach programme was launched directly implement its development initiatives for underprivileged communities residing in remote villages as well as urban slums across the country.Outreach has a distinctive approach. It partners with corporate bodies, PSUs and international development organisations for direct implementation of various initiatives in target locations. It differs from the Social Venture Philosophy model of Sparsh Charitable Trust in which community based organisations are identified, handheld and made sustainable for implementing the projects on the ground.The distinct approach of Outreach serves a dual purpose. On one hand, it facilitates a better understanding of the ground realities and challenges encountered in the implementation of a project. Secondly, it also assists the corporate houses, PSUs and international agencies in fulfilling their Corporate Social Responsibility mandate.Through Outreach, Sparsh Charitable Trust implements a variety of intervention projects. Education is provided to underprivileged children living in remote areas, under Mission Education. Well-equipped mobile hospital units with medical expertise, services and medicines traverse across deserts, forest tracts, hilly terrain and urban bylanes to bring affordable, accessible and accountable healthcare, under smile on Wheels programme. Besides this, Sparsh Health Camps, Integrated Community Development and Infrastructure Development projects ensure overall welfare.Outreach directly works in 10 backward districts, 155 villages and 10 urban slums, reaching out to a population of over 400,000. The programme has already benefitted approximately 200,000 beneficiaries.
