INTRODUCTION OF KAASH FOUNDATION KAASH FOUNDATION is a Mumbai based registered charitable trust dedicated to the area of E2H2 (Education, Environment, Health and Heritage).The foundation selflessly renders its service for the upliftment and betterment of the society. The soul of KAASH is their enthusiastic team which focuses on the multi-dimensional progress of the Foundation. KAASH organises various events like exhibitions, conferences and symposiums, which not only enlighten but also provoke individuals to think and comprehend vividly in terms of Environment, Education, Health and Heritage. In short, KAASH Foundation is a sincere initiative to conserve and preserve our society, health and mind. Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. These are the words of Nelson Mandela, an idealistic personality. KAASH Foundation is an initiative that takes responsibility to sharpen this powerful weapon called Education. We strive to explore different arenas of knowledge in terms of encouraging students to think and work beyond limits and boundaries. KAASH aims at the holistic development of educating the young minds of the society. It is rightly said, Education breeds Confidence, Confidence breeds Hope and Hope breeds Peace. This is the ultimate aim of KAASH Foundation with respect to education. It is our collective and individual responsibility to preserve and tend to the world in which we all live.

These words of The Dalai Lama generates in us, a sense of responsibility towards the environment. Environment is the second area focused by KAASH Foundation. The trees, the plants, the flowers, the forest and each element of the environment should be conserved and protected. It is rightly said by Margaret Mead, ‘We won’t have society if we destroy the environment’. Going by this belief, Kaash Foundation strives to raise its voice against the injustice towards nature and also to protect the society. One such incident was the Foundation’s involvement in the Save Aarey Movement. The environment in which we live is not yours, nor mine; it’s ours. So let’s protect our mother nature who nourishes us. It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. These words of Mahatma Gandhi state the importance of health. Health is the third area focused by KAASH Foundation. It is rightly emphasized, ‘The mind and body are not separate, what affects one will affect the other’. Our conversations on health should not only be confined to physical health, but also, include mental health. By thrusting ourselves on this belief, Kaash Foundation organises various events, awareness programmes and medical camps to achieve our goal based on the axiom, ‘The body achieves that, which the mind believes’. The heritage of the past is the seed that brings forth the harvest of the future. These words of Wendell Phillips help us to understand the importance of Heritage. Heritage is the fourth area focused by KAASH Foundation. As we water the seeds to grow into a tree; we should preserve our heritage in order to relish our glorious past.

Foundation organises various initiatives to protect and maintain the heritage sites; as we believe that maintaining one’s culture, values and traditions is invaluable.
