About Us
A Little Group of Young People,
Trying to Make the World a Kinder Place.
The Garad Foundation started with something very simple: a genuine desire to help.
We are a youth-led organisation built by young people, run by young people, and based in Thane, Maharashtra. Most of us are young people, students, volunteers, dreamers —who believe that even small actions, done with love and consistency, can create real change in the world around us.
We are not a large institution. We are a family of passionate individuals who care deeply about social awareness, education, and the growth of young people everywhere.
we are committed to making youth the true pillars of nation-building driving positive change at the grassroots through education, service, and innovation.

I have been a proud member of Garad Foundation for the past Two year, and my experience has been truly inspiring. participation from volunteers, showing a strong commitment to saving lives. One of the highlights has been their focus on education and youth empowerment. They have conducted free courses on career guidance and personality development, delivered by respected professionals from various fields. These sessions not only enlightened students but also opened doors for financial aid through government collaborations. Garad Foundation is deeply committed to supporting the economically weaker sections of society. Students receive free books, and special drives like the one "MISSIONBHARARI" where we all contributed ₹150 to provide sandals to tribal children are examples of their thoughtful approach to grassroots impact. During times of crisis, like the recent drought, the foundation extended help by distributing food supplies to those in need. It also promotes the Skill India initiative, regularly informing members about free courses and opportunities for upskilling. 📚 Mission Bharari – Phase 3 An innovative and significant initiative for tribal students in the Palghar district was successfully conducted on 14th June 2025, in two phases. Under this initiative, on behalf of Garad Foundation, educational kits were distributed to 300 students — 200 from ShilShet, Dhoddepada, and NalShet, and 100 from Avchitpada, Patilpada, Raigunjpada, and Vadpoli. If you believe in giving back to society and making a real difference, I highly recommend joining Garad Foundation. It's more than just an organization—it's a community of changemakers. 🙌 गारद फाऊंडेशन गौरव माणुसकी ❤️🙏🏻
