Shroffs Foundation Trust (SFT) has successfully blended the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, Ramkrishna Paramhansa and Swami Vivekananda with modern science and effective corporate management and governance systems. This unique blend of the personal with the professional, the traditional with the contemporary, the emotional with the rational and the prudent with the innovative has given SFT its leading edge. Persistence and patience… moving the boulder a little bit day by day… to pursue even the very prosaic ground tasks with utmost rigor has led to many monumental transformations.
The operative strategy of the Trust is “Sahaviryam Karva Vahey”, a Sanskrit phrase broadly translated as ‘the joy of togetherness… together we will achieve the best, together we will grow and together we will prosper’. The strong belief that the liberation of the vulnerable is closely linked to the liberation of the ‘liberator’ is at the heart of this philosophy. In the development lexicon, SFT places utmost emphasis on active community participation as the key to building an empowered community.
