Our Mission

Pure seva for Rajkot — every day, without discrimination

For 18 years, Shree Saibaba Charitable Trust has stood beside the poor and needy of Rajkot. Founded in 2008 and registered as a charitable trust (Reg. No. E-8462), we exist for one purpose: hands-on, compassionate service.

We do not ask for caste, creed, or community. We ask only who needs help — and our volunteers respond. From mass weddings for daughters who cannot afford a dignified marriage, to festival meals for families who would otherwise go without, to monthly support for elders with no one to rely on, our work is rooted in dignity and respect.

The trust is run by dedicated volunteers and sustained by donors who believe that every rupee should reach a real person in need. We keep overhead low and seva at the centre of every decision.

Our vision

A Rajkot where no daughter is denied marriage for lack of means, no elder goes hungry on a festival, and no family faces disaster or hardship alone.

Our Journey

From a small circle of devotees to a city-wide movement of seva

Shree Saibaba Charitable Trust began when a group of Sai devotees in Rajkot decided to turn faith into action — not through speeches, but through steady, visible help for those at the margins.

What started with local collections and neighbourhood support grew into registered trust work: Samuh Lagna, festival distributions, elder care, and emergency relief whenever Rajkot needed it most.

Today, families across the city know the trust by its consistency — the same compassion on Diwali as on a flood day, the same respect for every bride as for every grandmother receiving her monthly karigari.

What We Stand For

Principles that guide every program and every volunteer

🤝

Seva without discrimination

Help is offered without regard to caste, creed, religion, or community. Need alone determines who we serve.

🌸

Dignity first

Whether it is a daughter's wedding or an elder's monthly ration, we treat every beneficiary with the respect they deserve.

🙌

Hands-on compassion

Trust members and volunteers deliver aid personally — packing food, organising ceremonies, and visiting families on the ground.

📋

Accountability to donors

Contributions are directed to programs. We welcome questions about how funds are used and share our registration details openly.

What We Do

Four service pillars guide our work, year after year — each designed to meet a real need in Rajkot.

💒

Samuh Lagna (Mass Weddings)

Grand mass weddings for poor daughters — full kariyavar, ceremonies, hospitality for the jaan, and food. 100+ weddings completed since 2008; every rupee borne by the trust.

  • Complete wedding arrangements for each daughter
  • Traditional kariyavar and ceremonies
  • Food and hospitality for the groom's party (jaan)
🪔

Festival Care

Free farsan, mithai, and festive food distributed to needy families on every major festival, so no one is left out of the celebration.

  • Prepared food packs delivered to doorsteps

👵

Elderly Welfare

Free monthly groceries (kariyanu), essential medicines, and daily-needs items for poor elders who have no one to rely on.

  • Monthly ration and grocery support
  • Medicines and health essentials where possible
  • Regular check-ins by volunteer coordinators
🤲

Disaster & Pandemic Relief

Whenever calamity strikes Rajkot — flood, cyclone, or pandemic — our volunteers stand ready with emergency food, supplies, and aid.

  • Emergency food kits and dry rations
  • Coordination with local communities in crisis
  • Rapid mobilisation when disaster hits Rajkot

How We Work

From your donation to a family in need — a simple, transparent path

1

Identify real need

Volunteers and community contacts refer families who genuinely cannot afford weddings, festivals, medicines, or emergency aid.

2

Plan with dignity

Each program is planned so beneficiaries are served respectfully — private conversations, no public humiliation, full arrangements where promised.

3

Mobilise volunteers

Teams handle shopping, cooking, packing, transport, and on-the-day coordination for weddings, festivals, and relief drives.

4

Deliver & follow up

Aid is handed over in person where possible. For elders and recurring programs, coordinators maintain contact month after month.

Lives We Touch

Real stories from our work — names changed to protect privacy

My parents could not afford even a simple wedding. The trust gave my daughter everything — the mandap, the clothes, the meal for our relatives. She left with tears of joy, not shame.
— Mother of a Samuh Lagna bride, Rajkot
On Diwali we used to stay indoors because we had nothing to offer guests. Now volunteers bring sweets and farsan every year. My grandchildren feel the festival like other children.
— Elderly beneficiary, festival care program
When the floods came, we had no food for three days. The trust team reached our lane with packets before anyone else. They did not ask our surname — only how many mouths to feed.
— Family assisted during disaster relief

Our Impact in Numbers

Measurable seva — and countless quiet moments of relief

Behind every number is a family: a bride who married with dignity, elders who received their monthly support, neighbours who ate on a festival night. These figures reflect nearly two decades of continuous service in Rajkot.
