Founded in January 2018, Varitra Foundation envisions to enable change at the grass-root levels through collective efforts. A Sanskrit word, Varitra means ‘Umbrella’. In developmental terms, Varitra symbolises synergy, collaboration and canopy of idea. The idea of Varitra is inspired from the thought “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much”.
To transform 100 villages in the next 10 years
To address and respond to the gaps faced by the under-served communities, we work across the following areas that together, we believe, can lead to educated, enabled and inclusive communities.
How we work is as important as what we work on. We aim to make an impact through working with the people rather than for the people. We act as a facilitator for youth changemakers, communities, development organisations and government to create an ecosystem where every stakeholder can contribute meaningfully. We especially work with schools and communities, right from identifying the problem to designing contextual solutions. We encourage communities to take up the ownership of our projects for long-term sustainability and meaningful impact.

A core part of any organization are its core values. Varitra’s values aim to tell our story, share our beliefs and guide our behaviours and actions – today and all our years to come. Varitra’s purpose has always been to pave way for empowered individuals and communities and we believe strongly in the spirit of working together.
