MyBlood Charitable Blood Bank

Our Challenge

There is a gradual increase in the demand as well as utilization of blood and blood components. But there is a shortage as well as a wastage of blood as well. To solve this problem and ensure a proper and real-time supply of blood to the needy, we started MyBlood Charitable Blood Bank. But procurement of machinery required for the setup of blood bank was one of the challenging task ahead because of the high cost of the machines.

SFS Group Pvt Ltd. supported Mahesh Foundation in the procurement of some machinery which eased the setup of the MyBlood Charitable Blood Bank at Mahesh Foundation. We procured the machinery and installed it at the blood bank. The support of SFS Group India Pvt Ltd. will benefit thousands of needy people in the coming days.

Construction of classrooms

Our Challenge

The Right to Education in India guarantees free and compulsory education for the children. However, for a variety of reasons many children lack access to education and drop out of school. This phenomenon is even more pronounced especially for slum children. Hence, Mahesh Foundation intended to start a school “Utkarsha Learning Center” for such underprivileged slum children to provide them free education with an innovative education system. But, to find a building to run the school was a big challenge in front of us. To start school in rented premises is also a bigger challenge. Mahesh Foundation already had space but then, to afford the construction of classrooms was beyond the ability.

Mahesh Foundation approached the SFS Group for support to cope with the challenge. The SFS Group India Pvt. Ltd. is a company that manufactures auto parts. Mahesh Foundation received the necessary support and cooperation from the SFS Group. As a part of the CSR initiative, the SFS Group assured support for the construction of two classrooms. After years of efforts finally, the construction of classrooms completed in the year 2018 and the school opened its gates in the same year to inclusive education to bring a sustainable change in the education system. The classrooms are well-built to provide all the facilities that the children needed and create a learning environment. In the Utkarsha Learning Center, a total of 50 slum children enrolled within a year. The classrooms are bigger enough to manage more than 50 children in a particular classroom.

Child Sponsorship

Our Challenge

Mahesh Foundation works for HIV-infected children. These children are infected with HIV/AIDS through their parents by birth. Children are brought into families where the situation is such that either their parents are ill or they are single parents or orphans. Mahesh Foundation started for these HIV-infected and affected children with the principle of reducing the children’s vulnerability to infection, and for protecting children from discrimination. But taking care of these children is a challenging task as they need special care.

SFS Group India Pvt Ltd. joined hands with Mahesh Foundation in 2015. The first endeavor they supported was sponsoring children sheltered at Mahesh Foundation’s care home. They supported the livelihood of the multiple children for a whole year. This has enabled us to work on the overall development of medically challenged children.

Setup of Mini Science Lab

Our Challenge

It is imperative for schools to have the latest and high-quality science lab supplies these days. Science is different from any other subject. In order to understand its concepts, one has to look beyond the books and conventional classroom teaching. As the children with whom we are working belong to marginalized communities and are first-generation learners, they need a lot of visual and experiment-based learning. So, Mahesh Foundation decided to set up a Mini Science lab at Mahesh Foundation’s Utkarsha Learning Center.

SFS Group Pvt Ltd. has supported Mahesh Foundation’s ambition to provide a Mini Science lab for underprivileged children studying in our Utkarsha Learning Center. The lab is equipped with more than 250 experimental objects and every day hundreds of children are benefiting from the Mini Science Lab. Science lab equipment allows students to interact directly and they get a first-hand learning experience by performing various experiments on their own.

Our Challenge

The Mahesh Foundation faced challenges with limited space hindering the accommodation of growing numbers of children seeking education. The lack of facilities for vulnerable children affected their learning experience. Financial constraints made it difficult to fund new classroom construction, necessitating external support for enhanced educational opportunities.

SFS Group India's funding enabled a new classroom construction, expanding Utkarsha Learning Center's capacity for over 500+ children. Enhanced facilities fostered quality education and holistic student development. The collaboration increased access to education for underprivileged children, empowering them to pursue their dreams and break the barriers of poverty. Positive change was brought to the lives of those in need.

Construction of Two Classrooms

Our Challenge

Mahesh Foundation's current facilities are not sufficient to keep up with the demand for quality education for underprivileged children. Overcrowded classrooms and insufficient space to accommodate 2,000 students hinder the foundation's mission to provide accessible, high-quality education. With even more children still out of school, building a new school is crucial to ensure every child has access to the education they deserve. The lack of space and resources compromises educational quality and limits the foundation's ability to reach more children in need.

To significantly improve the lives of these children, we're planning to build a modern, functional, and sustainable school that can accommodate 2,000 underprivileged students. We're grateful to have the continued support of SFS Group India Pvt. Ltd. for the construction of two classrooms. These classrooms will be fully equipped with essential amenities like desks, chairs, blackboards, audiovisual equipment, and learning materials to ensure a supportive and effective learning environment.

Construction of New Floor

Our Challenge

Mahesh Foundation encountered substantial challenges due to constrained space, which limited their ability to serve the increasing number of children seeking education. The inadequate facilities for vulnerable children adversely impacted their learning experience. Financial limitations further restricted the allocation of resources for building new classrooms, underscoring the need for external support to improve educational opportunities.

Thanks to the extended support of SFS Group India Pvt. Ltd., a new floor was added to the Utkarsha Learning Center's New School Building, significantly increasing its capacity to accommodate over 500 children. These upgraded facilities have greatly improved the quality of education and supported the holistic development of the students. This collaboration has notably expanded educational access for disadvantaged children, empowering them to chase their dreams and overcome the obstacles of poverty.
