Dear Friends and Supporters,

I am deeply honored to welcome you to the Shrimati Minabai Foundation. Our journey, rooted in the Motherly Strength of my mother, Shrimati Minabai Devidas Bhone, has been a testament to the power of unwavering determination and love.

My mother's story is one of extraordinary resilience. She faced the unimaginable loss of her husband to a battle with blood cancer just 3 yrs into their marriage, leaving her with the sole responsibility of raising me, Satish. Fueled by her unwavering strength and determination, she chose not to remarry and instead embarked on a path of self-sufficiency by honing her sewing skills. Her tireless efforts not only made ends meet but also nurtured my dreams.

Through her relentless dedication, she supported my education, ultimately enabling me to become a Civil Engineer. She approaches my high school teacher at SBMV, Susundra for advice, which is very important in helping her decide on a career in education, in my opinion. Today, I stand before you as a testament to her unwavering love and sacrifices.

The Shrimati Minabai Foundation is born from the values and principles instilled in me by my mother. It is our commitment to continue her legacy by empowering rural communities through education, healthcare, and sustainable opportunities. We strive to bridge the knowledge gap, spread awareness, and offer hope to countless individuals who face challenges similar to those my mother overcame.

As we embark on this journey, I invite you to join hands with us, just as my mother joined hands with me, to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. Together, we can create a brighter and more equitable future for all.

Thank you for your unwavering support.

With gratitude,
