Creating Comfortable Spaces: Bunk Beds and Racks for Boys and Girls Hostels in Gujarat
Global Foundation enhanced the living conditions at two hostels for underprivileged children in Gujarat, India, through the donation of essential furniture.
In January, the foundation provided 50 three-tier steel bunk beds and 50 storage racks to Vanbandhu Boys Chhatralay, ensuring the boys no longer had to sleep on the floor or share beds. This improved their comfort, academic performance, and overall well-being, bringing relief and happiness to students and their families.
In December, 40 two-tier bunk beds and storage furniture were donated to the Manaichondi Girls Hostel in Dharampur, Valsad district. The girls expressed heartfelt gratitude, as the hostel transformed from a basic shelter into a restful and uplifting space for learning and growth.
Both hostels are managed by the Vanvasi Utkarsh Trust. The project was executed in partnership with SEWA Rural and Vivekananda Gramin Tekniki Kendra (VGTK), a vocational training center. By sourcing furniture from VGTK, Global Foundation not only met the hostels’ needs but also empowered local artisans and businesses, contributing to community development.
This initiative reflects Global Foundation’s dedication to improving the lives of children through education, comfort, and sustainable development.

Unleashing Hope: Free Health Camps for People with Disabilities in Gujarat
Global Foundation partnered with Vanvasi Utkarsh Trust (VUT) and Bharat Vikas Parishad (BVP) – Viklang Kendra to organize a transformative health camp in Sidumbar village, Valsad District, Gujarat. Held on January 26th at Ramji Bhai Rupera Kumar Chhatralay, the camp brought hope, healing, and independence to over 700 individuals with disabilities.
The camp provided:
- Assistive Devices: Artificial limbs, wheelchairs, walking sticks, tricycles, crutches, and hearing aids were custom-measured and distributed to qualified recipients.
- Specialized Medical Care: Expert professionals, including prosthetists, optometrists, ENT specialists, gynecologists, dermatologists, physical therapists, dentists, and general physicians, offered comprehensive care and support.Preparations began weeks earlier to ensure precision in fitting assistive devices and delivering high-quality services. Volunteers from the USA and local teams worked together to create a joyous and compassionate atmosphere, filled with gratitude as attendees regained independence and improved their quality of life.
This impactful initiative was entirely funded by Global Foundation, with heartfelt appreciation expressed by VUT and BVP for the foundation’s dedication.
The journey began earlier, on July 26, 2015, when Global Foundation held its first health camp in collaboration with Bharat Vikas Parishad, Ahmedabad. This camp provided tricycles and prosthetic limbs to underprivileged individuals with disabilities, marking the start of a mission to change lives.
These camps exemplify Global Foundation’s commitment to empowering communities and fostering dignity through compassionate service.
