Who We Are
SANCH Foundation started in 2009 when a group of people who cared deeply about social issues decided to do something about it. Since then, we've grown into a network that connects people, organisations, and institutions from around the world who want to make a real difference in two critical areas: the lives of underprivileged children and the health of our natural environment.
We work with communities on the ground, partner with businesses looking to create social impact, and bring together anyone who has the skills, resources, or passion to contribute. Our approach is practical: identify what needs to be done, connect the right people and resources, and get to work.
Our Vision
"For an advanced and prosperous world, we unite everyone with the spirit of Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam, protecting nature and children while providing a platform for committed individuals dedicated to collective welfare."
The concept of Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam comes from ancient Sanskrit and means "the world is one family." It's a simple but powerful idea: despite our different backgrounds, languages, and cultures, we're all connected. What happens in one part of the world affects us all, and we share responsibility for each other and for the planet. This philosophy guides everything we do at SANCH.
Our Mission
Our work focuses on four main areas:
Child Development: We work on the comprehensive development of children, focusing on quality education, health, nutrition, and creating opportunities for them to build better futures. Every child deserves a fair chance, regardless of where they're born.
Environmental Conservation: We protect and restore natural resources, promote eco-tourism, and support sustainable practices. Conservation isn't just about saving the environment for its own sake. It's about ensuring communities can thrive for generations to come.
Supporting Social Change-Makers: We recognize and support individuals and organizations doing important work in their communities. Good work often goes unnoticed, and we want to change that by providing platforms, recognition, and practical support.
Corporate Social Responsibility: We help businesses navigate CSR by connecting them with meaningful projects and communities that need support. We've built networking platforms where corporate resources meet real social needs.
What We Do
Education & Child Welfare
We run programs that give children from underserved communities access to quality education and the support they need to succeed, not just academically, but in developing life skills, confidence, and opportunities.
Livelihood Programs
We create income opportunities and skill development programs that help people earn sustainable livelihoods. When families have economic stability, children can stay in school and communities can grow stronger.
Environmental Work
Our environmental initiatives include promoting eco-tourism and working with tribal communities who have protected forests for generations. We support projects that prove development and conservation can go hand in hand.
Conferences & Recognition
We organize international conferences and seminars on issues like eco-tourism, tribal culture, women's empowerment, and children's rights. These events bring attention to important topics and recognize people and organizations making significant contributions to society.
Monitoring & Impact
We track the results of our programs carefully. Transparency and accountability matter to us, and we want to ensure the work we do actually creates the change we're aiming for.
Building Networks
We connect people who can help each other. Business leaders meet social workers. Donors find projects they care about. Volunteers discover where they're needed. These connections are often where the real magic happens.
Moving Forward
We've accomplished a lot since 2009, but there's still much work to do. The challenges facing children and the environment are complex, and they require sustained effort from many people working together.
If you're interested in supporting our work, whether through donations, partnerships, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, we'd like to hear from you. Change happens when people decide to be part of it.
