About us

Who we are

We are a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can raise a child and create a better future for them.

Pragati Seva Trust (which in Hindi/Gujarati means ‘together, co-operation, a collective or support’), founded in…… , is an NGO in India registered as a Public Charitable Trust and is based in Vadodara, Gujarat. Pragati Seva Trust closely works with the vulnerable communities and empowers the socially marginalized by providing them livelihood linkages, imparting skills leading to employment, health and education facilities. The focus areas of Pragati Seva Trust are livelihoods, skill development, health and education, rights, urban governance, financial inclusion, rehabilitation and resettlement and other community development initiatives.

Pragati Seva Trust began as a Charitable Trust that pioneered in rejuvenating underprivileged slums and vulnerable neighborhoods into self-sustaining and developed communities by its Integrated Community Develop-ment Programme changing the environment of urban slums. Pragati Seva Trust through its one-stop centers pro-vides supports to slum dwellers to obtain government identities, providing them access to public benefit schemes, imparting skills leading to employment, micro-finance for vital personal consumption and Setting Up SMEs and Providing Access to habitable Environment And Basic Education. We started extending help to needy children and youth who were eager to study and work for a better life. This moment intensified when we found that there were many such underprivileged children who needed help with food, shelter and education. Our team expanded and we spread out in different regions to make sure we cover all possible areas and help as many children as possible.

We now run shelter homes, schools and a reasonable mess that helps such needy young people. We also have our helpline offices spread throughout the country so one can approach us anytime they need help.
