Empowering Communities through Compassion and Action
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is not just a legal mandate — it’s a moral movement. And at the heart of this transformation lies Shaksham Foundation, a leading CSR donation NGO Ahmedabad dedicated to empowering lives through education, healthcare, women empowerment, environmental sustainability, and senior citizen welfare.
At Shaksham Foundation, we believe that real progress happens when corporates and communities come together for a shared purpose — building a sustainable and inclusive future for all.
What Makes Shaksham Foundation Stand Out in Ahmedabad’s CSR Landscape?
Ahmedabad is a city known for its business excellence and entrepreneurial spirit. Shaksham Foundation bridges the gap between corporate goodwill and social upliftment by creating high-impact CSR programs that transform lives and empower marginalized sections of society.
Our Core Philosophy
We are driven by three key principles:
-
Empower, Educate, and Elevate – focusing on sustainable growth and self-reliance.
-
Transparency and Accountability – ensuring every rupee donated creates measurable impact.
-
Corporate Collaboration – partnering with businesses to build customized CSR initiatives.
