About

A foundation that prefers the long visit to the loud one.

Mukhya Foundation is a people-first organisation working across education, community health, women's livelihoods and emergency relief. We stay close to the ground — and we stay for the long term.

Origin

Started in 2014, from a classroom that had no teacher after lunch.

A group of educators in Jaipur began covering a cluster of government schools where posts sat empty for months. The work widened — first to health camps when children kept missing class with treatable illness, then to women’s groups when mothers asked for a way to pay fees without borrowing.

The name is deliberate. Mukhya — principal, foremost. The person in the room comes before the project document.

How we work

Three rules we do not break.

Stay after the photograph

Every programme is designed for a minimum of three years in the same panchayat. We do not parachute, publish, and leave.

Hire locally, report plainly

Field coordinators come from the block. Accounts are published. Donors receive a letter, not a brochure, when money is used.

Measure what families feel

Attendance, wages, immunisation, and whether a girl is still in school in March. Vanity metrics do not enter the annual note.

Legal

Registered, certified, open to audit.
