About Us
A Legacy of Compassion and Commitment
Founded in 1993 by Chandrakant M. Parekh in memory of his beloved wife- Veena, the V.C. Parekh Charitable Trust has been a beacon of hope and service for over three decades. Built on the principles of humanity, generosity, and empowerment, the trust is committed to transforming lives and uplifting communities through meaningful initiatives. With an unwavering dedication to education, healthcare, and social welfare, we continue to create a lasting impact—one life at a time.
A Vision That Lives On
Our journey of service began with a simple yet powerful belief: helping those in need can create a ripple effect of positive change. Rooted in this ethos, the trust actively engages in education, healthcare, food security, and essential aid, ensuring that underprivileged individuals and families receive the support they deserve.
From providing nutritious meals to children in collaboration with Akshay Patra to supporting rural education with Ekal Vidyalaya, every initiative is a step towards creating a self-reliant and empowered society. Our efforts also extend to winter relief, clothing distribution, and medical assistance, ensuring that basic human needs are met with dignity and care.
Making a Lasting Impact
Over the years, the V.C. Parekh Charitable Trust has expanded its reach through strategic collaborations and direct interventions. Our most notable initiative is the V.C. Parekh Eye Centre, established in partnership with L.V. Prasad Eye Institute. This state-of-the-art hospital in Madanapalle, Andhra Pradesh, provides affordable and quality eye care, particularly benefiting rural and underserved communities.
Beyond healthcare, our focus remains on education, social welfare, and sustainable development—ensuring that every individual, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to lead a dignified and fulfilling life.
A Commitment to Sustainable Change
At V.C. Parekh Charitable Trust, we believe that true impact goes beyond temporary aid—it requires sustainable, long-term solutions. Our work is aligned with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), addressing poverty, health, education, and social equity.
By partnering with government agencies, NGOs, and private welfare organizations, we maximize our outreach and effectiveness. Our approach is not just about charity but about empowering individuals to break free from the cycle of hardship and build a better future for themselves and their communities.
Looking Ahead
The V.C. Parekh Charitable Trust continues to expand its initiatives, strengthen partnerships, and innovate solutions that create a lasting difference. While we remain committed to ongoing projects, we also focus on scaling our efforts and transitioning ownership to local communities, ensuring long-term sustainability.
With each passing day, we move closer to our mission of uplifting lives, spreading hope, and creating a stronger, more compassionate society.
