Stories before statistics.
Every number we publish has a name and a face behind it. These are some of theirs.
Binita Mallik: from severe acute malnutrition to a full life
When Binita arrived at the Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre in Kandhamal at 11 months, she weighed just 4.2 kg. Eight weeks later, she walked out healthy.
Vinusha and the women who rebuilt Nildunguri’s toilets
The single-pit latrines were a public health hazard. Vinusha’s SHG converted 96 of them to twin-pit systems in one summer.
Dipika and Jiya: clean water in Sagwara
Two sisters, both showing early signs of skeletal fluorosis. The Solar Defluoridation Unit installed near their school changed their trajectory.
The Gogoi family: a safe birth in Arunachal
Trained ASHA workers, a home-based care kit, and a single mobile number that mattered most when it mattered most.
Pratibha and the classroom on wheels
Her village had no school within 9 kilometres. The School Sanjog van arrives twice a week, and she has not missed a single class.
Voices of our community
Donors, volunteers and partners — in their own words.
“MTF is the rare organisation where I can see exactly where my rupees go. The quarterly field reports are honest, not glossy.”
“We funded a defluoridation unit in Sagwara. Two years later, children there are healthier and parents are confident. That’s real ROI.”
“I spent a week at an NRC in Odisha. Watching a child gain weight day by day changed how I think about giving.”
“The 95/5 fund split is not just a number on a website. The team lives it.”
“The SHG women of Nildunguri run their twin-pit programme entirely on their own now. That is the point of good development.”
“From Singapore I needed to trust an Indian charity completely. MTF earned that trust within one cycle.”
“▮&2,000 a month feels like very little until you read what it actually does on the ground.”
“The mobile learning vans of School Sanjog are pure ingenuity — and pure joy.”
“Secular, non-political, focused. Exactly the foundation India needs more of.”
