અમારી સફર
Our journey
A family habit of feeding people and planting trees became a registered trust in 2026, so that many more hands could join and every rupee could be accounted for.

MeghVin Foundation is a public charitable trust based in Ghatlodia, Ahmedabad, with its main field work at Sindoor Valley in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai. We work for all sections of society, without discrimination of caste, creed, religion or gender.
We are deliberately small and hands-on. Our trustees cook, plant and teach themselves. Our diary is public. When we say 700 trees, we can walk you to them.
