“Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it.”

― John D. Rockefeller

Our Belief

We firmly believe in Sir J. D. Rockefeller’s above quote. That’s why when we saw and felt the lives of the tribal communities, residing just a few kilometers away from our own Badlapur city, lagging behind the lives of common priviledged people, we knew they had to be helped in the truest sense and not by just donating some clothes and groceries. Sure the tribal communities do need help. And we want to transform these communities so that they become independent of our help. That’s the true upliftment and empowerment of the tribals.

Uplifting the tribal people is not charity, but our RESPONSIBILITY as humans.

“A Beacon of Light: Vijay Chavan’s Grateful Testimonial for Lakshya Foundation“

Testimonial from Vijay Chavan, Principal, Z.P. School Nambarwadi:

“I am Vijay Chavan, and I joined Z.P. School Nambarwadi in September 2006. At the time, the school faced challenging conditions. Thanks to Lakshya Foundation, headed by Shri. Shirish Patil and his dedicated colleagues, we received invaluable support that has made a significant difference.
With their efforts, the school underwent a beautiful transformation, with vibrant paint and improvements. The village of Nambarwadi is very remote, and we lacked regular electricity supply, leaving our school in darkness. However, Lakshya Foundation replaced the roof with a transparent sheet, allowing natural light to brighten our classrooms, and remarkably reducing the electricity bills.
Their continuous support has been a game-changer for us. Nambarwadi is the most remote wadi in the taluka, with a 100% tribal population. Lakshya Foundation consistently works to enhance the educational environment of both the school and the village.
We firmly believe that with their valuable cooperation, our tribal village, and indeed the entire society, will undoubtedly witness progress and education.

“Empowering Young Minds: A Heartwarming Testimonial from Nambarwadi’s Teacher”

Testimonial of a Teacher:

“We are extremely grateful to Shirish Patil and Lakshya Foundation for their remarkable support and transformational impact on our tribal community. When Shri. Shirish Patil visited Nambarwadi, he saw the condition of our Anganwadi and school. The Anganwadi was in disrepair, but with the compassionate efforts of Lakshya Foundation, it was given a vibrant makeover with fresh paint and the children received toys that brought smiles to their faces.
The school faced a significant challenge with no roof, making learning difficult, but thanks to Lakshya Foundation, a new roof was installed, filling the school with light and hope. Now, our children can experience the joy of education and play with a proper ball.
Lakshya Foundation’s unwavering support extended to providing essential materials and cupboards for the Anganwadi, ensuring a conducive learning environment. Additionally, they constructed separate toilets for boys and girls, promoting sanitation and hygiene practices among our children.
We are truly indebted to Shirish Patil and Lakshya Foundation for their dedication to the welfare of our community. Their intervention has brought positive change, and we are immensely grateful for their presence in Nambarwadi, uplifting and developing our Anganwadi and school.”

“Empowering Dreams: Deepa’s Inspirational Journey from drop-out student to Sarpanch”

Testimonial from Deepa Pardhi :

“Hello, I am Deepa Pardhi, a daughter of Lavali, a tribal village near Badlapur. Our village was not well-developed, and education awareness was lacking. Due to financial constraints, I faced challenges as a differently-abled individual, which affected my education. Thankfully, Lakshya Foundation organized camps that changed my life.
During one of the camps, I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Shirish Patil, the director of Lakshya Foundation. He believed in me and passionately guided me about the importance of education. Lakshya Foundation provided us with class 10th classes, and with their unwavering support and Shirish Sir’s mentorship, I successfully passed my exams.
The foundation’s impact on my life didn’t end there. With the job I secured, I used my salary to continue my education. Thanks to Lakshya Foundation, I have not only transformed my life but also become the Sarpanch of my village, defying all odds and embracing every responsibility with determination.
Shirish Patil Sir’s powerful words, “A person can progress through education,” resonated deeply with me throughout my extraordinary journey. I wholeheartedly thank Shirish Sir and Lakshya Foundation for being the guiding light in my life.”
