Umang Foundation

Umang Foundation is committed to transforming lives in rural and tribal regions of Maharashtra. Founded with the belief that every child and individual deserves access to basic education, dignity, and support, the foundation channels nearly all its resources directly into community welfare. It operates with a clear mission to uplift underprivileged communities by improving education, health, and social awareness.

Major Interventions:

School Infrastructure Development: Umang Foundation renovates government-run tribal schools to create safe, vibrant, and engaging learning spaces. These projects include structural repairs, painting, providing furniture, and establishing smart classrooms. It also constructs toilets in schools to promote hygiene and reduce dropout rates, especially among girl students.

Education & Sports: To ensure continuity in education, the NGO distributes stationery kits, notebooks, and digital devices among school children in remote areas. It also sets up libraries under the “Meri Umang” initiative and awards scholarships to meritorious students. The “Umang Gurukul” program mentors students by connecting them with professionals who guide them in academics and career paths. It also supports young athletes through sports scholarships and facilitates their participation in national and international competitions.

Health and Hygiene: The “Umang Care” initiative focuses on improving healthcare in underserved regions through medical camps, blood donation drives, and awareness programs on menstrual hygiene. The foundation also installs water filtration systems in villages under the “Swatch Jal” project to provide access to clean drinking water.

Volunteer Engagement: Umang provides numerous opportunities for volunteers to contribute—be it through teaching, creative workshops, motivational talks, or environmental activities like school gardening.
