Overview

South Gujarat's tribal communities grapple with significant socio-economic challenges rooted in geographical isolation and historical neglect. Limited access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities have hindered their development.

Pahel Charitable Trust is committed to addressing these issues through comprehensive programs. By focusing on education, healthcare, humanitarian aid, and sustainable agriculture, we aim to empower the community, fostering self-reliance and resilience.

Ukta village was submerged due to floods. Pahel Trust helped our village by providing food and helping clear mud out of houses and our school. This allowed us to reopen the school quickly.”
