Who We Are

A Movement of Hope & Change

Saksham Path Foundation was born out of a simple but powerful belief: that every human being deserves dignity, education, food, and healthcare — regardless of where they were born or what circumstances they face.

Founded in 2018 by a group of passionate social workers in Maharashtra, we started with just 12 volunteers and a dream. Today, we are a team of 1,200+ volunteers and staff, serving 50,000+ lives across 15+ districts.

"Saksham means capable. Every person we serve is capable of greatness. We just remove the barriers between them and their potential."

We are a registered Section 8 NGO under the Companies Act, 2013 (Reg. No: AB3594568), fully compliant with all regulatory requirements and eligible to provide 80G tax exemption certificates to our donors.
