About us

A family that grew into a movement

Mera Parivar — "my family" — is a registered FCRA trust founded on 18 November 2006 in Gurugram, Haryana. We work with children, women, and youth in disadvantaged communities, because that is where lasting change begins.

Who we are

Nearly two decades of showing up

What began as local work with disadvantaged families in Gurugram now spans 7 states and 18 districts of India.

We provide humanitarian interventions in health, nutrition, water sanitation and hygiene (WASH), informal education, women empowerment, youth skill livelihoods training and placement, and advocacy. We also deliver CSR outreach and operational services as an implementation partner under the Companies Act.

Based at Rajiv Nagar near CRPF Camp Chowk in Gurugram, the organisation assists disadvantaged communities — children, youth, and women — with programmes that range from bridge schools and midday meals to vocational training and gender-equity work with adolescent boys.

Direction

Mission and vision

Our mission

To empower and uplift communities through their children, women, and youth — providing education, professional skills, and personal development that build self-reliance and dignity.

Our vision

Communities where every child learns, every woman has the means to be self-reliant, and every young person can earn a dignified livelihood — without needing us anymore.

Gurugram HQ

Rajiv Nagar, Gurugram, Haryana 122001

Across all of it, three groups anchor our work: children who need a way into education, women building independence, and youth preparing for livelihoods. Strengthen them, and the whole community rises.

How we work

Approach and values

Four principles run through every programme — from a meal served today to a career built over years.

  • Dignity first

    Support is offered as partnership, never as charity that diminishes. Every programme protects the self-respect of the people it serves.

  • Self-reliance as the goal

    Meals meet today's need; education, skills, and livelihoods end tomorrow's. Success is what communities no longer need from us.

  • Community-rooted

    Programmes run inside the communities they serve — bridge schools in settlements, training at Rajiv Nagar, outreach across Delhi NCR.

  • Accountability

    FCRA registered with MHA (18 Nov 2006), 12A and 80G certified, e-CSR registered with the MCA, with financial accounts published publicly.
