About MTF
A secular trust, built on the belief that every child deserves dignity.
The Matha Theresa Foundation is a public, charitable trust registered in Bengaluru. We are secular and non-political, focused entirely on education, nutrition, and health for India’s most under-served communities.
Our Mission
To enable every child in rural India to grow up nourished, educated and free of preventable disease — through community-led, evidence-based programmes delivered in partnership with local institutions and frontline workers.
Our Vision
An India where geography, caste or income no longer determines whether a child survives, learns, or thrives.
