Pahel Journey

Pahel is a predominantly volunteer driven organization which works with other partners for all its initiatives. Currently more than 1200 volunteers work on Pahel’s various projects.

In the heart of Dharampur, amidst South Gujarat's verdant hills, a quiet revolution began in 2005. Rushit Masrani, driven by a passion for education, started a mission to uplift tribal children from at-risk families.

This endeavor grew into Masti Ki Pathshala, an educational movement under the open sky. Rushit's vision expanded to include elderly care, prison Yoga lessons, cleanliness campaigns, and tree plantation drives.

In 2015, Pahel was registered as a charitable trust, impacting over 7.5 lakh people across South Gujarat. During crises like floods and the Covid-19 pandemic, Pahel provided vital support, showcasing resilience and compassion. Pahel's legacy, illuminated by collective spirit and hope, continues to shine.
