We exist to empower underserved communities worldwide through sustainable development, education, and healthcare initiatives that address root causes and create self-sufficient futures.
"To empower underserved communities worldwide by creating sustainable solutions that address the root causes of poverty, inequality, and injustice through education, healthcare, economic development, and community partnership."
Groww Charity Foundation
Founded in 2010
A world where every person has access to the resources, opportunities, and support needed to build a self-sufficient, dignified, and hopeful future.
Provide quality education to 1 million children in underserved communities
Ensure clean water access for 500,000 people in water-scarce regions
Create sustainable livelihoods for 100,000 families through economic empowerment
These fundamental principles guide every decision we make and every action we take in pursuit of our mission.
We work alongside communities, respecting local knowledge and empowering them to lead their own development.
We design programs for long-term success, ensuring communities can maintain progress independently.
We maintain the highest ethical standards and provide full accountability for our actions and finances.
We prioritize the most marginalized, ensuring everyone has a voice and opportunity to thrive.
We follow a proven methodology that ensures sustainable, community-led transformation.
We begin by listening. Our teams work directly with community leaders and members to understand their unique challenges, strengths, and aspirations.
"We don't assume we know what a community needs. We ask, we listen, and we partner."
Together with the community, we co-create solutions that are culturally appropriate, environmentally sustainable, and economically viable.
"The best solutions are those that communities can maintain long after we're gone."
We invest in local leadership and skills development, training community members to implement, manage, and sustain projects independently.
"Our goal is to work ourselves out of a job in every community we serve."
We continuously monitor progress, measure impact, and adapt our approach based on data, feedback, and changing circumstances.
"What gets measured gets improved. We're committed to evidence-based impact."
From humble beginnings to global impact, our journey is one of growth, learning, and transformation.
