PRITHAK FOUNDATION | Non Profit Organizatio

PRITHAK FOUNDATION is a voluntary, non-profit organization initiated by a group of driven, compassionate youngsters emerging from the depths of marginalized society (slum) in South Delhi on 21 February 2019. These individuals came together with a shared purpose: to give back to their own community that had uplifted and nurtured their own education and personal growth.
PF is more than just a social initiative; it is a dynamic force of change makers, a beacon of hope shining brightly in the lives of countless individuals. Envisioned by the youth, PF strives to empower their community and the younger generation by providing them with opportunities that can transform their lives.
Our mission takes us to the vibrant neighbourhoods of Sanjay Colony and J.J Rajeev Camp Slums, settled within the Okhla Industrial Estates in South Delhi. In these humble surroundings, we firmly believe that education holds the key to breaking the chains of poverty. Hence, we are resolutely committed to offering marginalized young people access to exceptional educational programs and invaluable resources, guiding them towards their true potential.

Testimonials

“Prithak undoubtedly stands out among others for its remarkable efforts in uplifting Sanjay Colony and supporting the children in the area. From providing basic education and access to digital technologies for children of all ages to supporting the community in its various endeavors, Prithak’s impact on the community over the last decade has been nothing short of impressive. What truly makes Prithak different is the sheer grit and determination towards its work. I have seen their struggle with financial support but this never became a reason to stop their work, at times putting Prithak before their individual careers. Even more astonishing is the integrity, honesty, and transparency with which the team operates, making Prithak’s mission a worthy cause to support. The exceptional work they do deserves wider recognition and support (financial and otherwise), and expanding their reach to other communities could make an even greater difference in the lives of countless children and families across India.”

“I have worked with these amazing people during my visit to India in 2016 and they do amazing work in the local community. PRITHAK FOUNDATION is a project founded and run by local young people for the benefit of local young people. I have made friends for life here and if any of my UK or other overseas friends visit Delhi please look up PRITHAK and help out however you can.”

“My husband and I have known Prithak since its inception. We’ve been actively involved in selecting candidates for (CCI) Scholarships through the U.S. Embassy. The Prithak team’s accomplishments have impressed us, maximizing resources to benefit students effectively. The leadership team prioritizes planning for the school’s growth and offerings. During our annual interviews with CCI candidates, we appreciate the team’s impeccable organization, uniting interviewers from various continents, countries, and time zones seamlessly. Every CCI candidate we interview displays similar exceptional qualities. Looking ahead, we eagerly anticipate staying involved with Prithak for years to come, inspired by the positive impact and opportunities it provides for students’ growth.”

“I was extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to come to India from Canada and teach English full-time at Prithak in 2015. The year before, in Canada, I had been thinking about ways to volunteer somewhere in the world and fortunately my path led me to Prithak. The experience was truly remarkable and I cherish the memories of my time there starting with the inspiring founder Ramesh and other teachers right down to each and every one of the fun and intelligent students with whom I had the pleasure of learning alongside. The love, pride, and eagerness to learn that I witnessed in Sanjay Colony is truly inspiring. Volunteering at Prithak not only allowed me to contribute, hopefully the kids enjoyed learning better English, but also, it gave me the opportunity to establish lifelong friendships that I hold dear to my heart. I am deeply grateful to Prithak for this wonderful experience.”

” I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the exceptional work being done by Prithak with the children in Sanjay Colony slum in Delhi. From ensuring their access to basic amenities during the challenging times of COVID-19 to establishing libraries with a wide range of books, Prithak team has made remarkable efforts in providing the best possible facilities for these children. Education serves as the foundation in building an equitable society, and Prithak’s impact in this regard will undoubtedly be felt far and wide. I commend Prithak for the incredible work you are doing. Keep up the good work and continue making a positive difference in the lives of these children.”
