About Us
Vijaya Foundation is a family-driven philanthropic initiative established in July 2021 by Nalin Kantilal Pathak and Jayshree Nalin Pathak, in loving memory of Vijayaji.
The foundation was born from a desire to honor her legacy and contribute meaningfully to the community through senior citizen care and education.
Vijaya Foundation is a philanthropic organization dedicated to two key areas:
- Senior Citizen Care
We provide essential support to senior citizens in need, focusing on grocery and food aid. Currently, we serve vulnerable seniors in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, ensuring their well-being through our compassionate services.
- Education
We believe holistic education has the power to transform lives. Our educational initiatives focus on fostering creativity, socio-emotional development, and environmental awareness.
We currently support three programs:
Interdisciplinary Library Program (Ages 3-11):
This program nurtures young minds through storytelling, theater, nature-based activities, and curated children’s literature. Operating in three learning centers in Vadodara, the program encourages language development, creativity, and environmental consciousness while helping children build essential socio-emotional skills.
Local Khoji – Project-Based Learning Program (Ages 12+):
In this initiative, children embark on interdisciplinary projects centered around their city or town. Whether conducting research, storytelling, filmmaking, or engaging in making, tinkering, and coding, participants develop critical 21st-century skills and deepen their connection to the environment.
Annual Residential Camps (Ages 10-16):
Every December, we host a 3-day residential camp, offering children an immersive experience through themes like collaboration, communication, and community living. These camps provide hands-on activities that foster personal growth and shared learning.
