Manjari Charitable Trust was established in December, 2011, with an aim to provide a wholesome education to children of displaced villagers, migrant labourers and daily wage earners.
To provide equal opportunities to all children in a conducive environment, allowing them to explore suitable opportunities so as to enable them to reach their full potential and to grow to become confident, responsible and sensitive individuals.
I have been working with Manjari Charitable trust since 2014.The teachers and children have given meaning and purpose to my life. The enthusiasm of the children, despite many shortcomings, their smiles, acceptance, and achievements has changed my personality too. I have learnt to be passionate, to give more without expectations, laugh more, and ignore the negatives and so on.
Each day I look forward to interact with the children, teach as well as learn from them. I am blessed to have a job that is so satisfying and rewarding. I hope to be associated with the trust for many more years to come and grow along with the children.
I’ve been working as science teacher with manjari charitable trust since three years. Ever since then, I have learned a lot which has helped me become a better person. Not many people have the privilege to work under such a caring & understanding environment. I feel empowered to be part of such great team!
I am working in Manjari for last 6 years. Working with children has been a wonderful experience so far and I continue to cherish this wonderful experience. I am teaching Maths and English to children from first to tenth standard.
Our aim is to make children understand the concept clearly. I have been given the freedom to teach children in the best way I feel possible. By teaching the children, I am getting rejuvenated. Whenever we need suggestions, the Trustees are present to help us. I am enjoying the freedom in teaching. Students are also showing interest in learning everything that we teach. As they are with me for last 6 years, they show affection to me. I am happy to get an opportunity to work for the children.
Our main objective is to provide quality education to those children who can not afford private school. We also guide parents so that they give importance to the education of their children.
Thanks to Manjari trust for giving this opportunity to serve these children.
To work with Manjari Trust has been a golden opportunity for me since I felt working for children's future to support and empower people within society is a perfect career path for me. Also smiling faces of children give me immense pleasure and satisfaction. After working with Manjari Trust my view towards life has changed positively as I also learnt from children to find happiness in every situation.
I am getting new experiences every week working with different children. I think about new methods to teach them.It gives me lots of energy.
Children coming to our Centre have a good understanding of Marathi as a language. Some children do find difficulties while learning (especially writing), due to variations in their native spoken Marathi dialect, & the fact that many children are from outside Maharashtra. As teachers we need to put in extra effort in such instances. Learning definitely happens with persistence & practice.
I joined the centre in 5th standard and was there until 10th. The centre was like a second home to me. The teachers were extremely supportive and caring, and they always made us feel safe, happy, and comfortable. It was a place where we had the freedom to share our thoughts and feelings without any hesitation or restrictions. They supported us not only academically but also financially and emotionally, and always created a positive environment where we could study and grow.
Even after 10th, the trust continued to support my education. They helped me get a sponsor who supported my college fees and also helped me with my admission. They sponsored my entire 3-year Diploma in Computer Engineering at Government Polytechnic Mumbai.
Today, I am pursuing my 3rd year of Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering at MGM University. I am truly grateful to the trust and all my teachers because their support has played a very important role in helping me reach where I am today. Even now, whenever I need any guidance or help, I can call my teachers and they are always there for me.
I still miss my centre. I am truly grateful to all my teachers and the entire centre for everything they have done for me. They have supported me throughout my education and helped me become the person I am today. I genuinely feel that I am here today because of their constant support, guidance, and belief in me.
I am currently doing internship from Tata Memorial hospital Parel; recently graduated from Tata Hospital Parel with a master's degree in Nuclear Medicine.
Till my bachelors I was always worried about what will happen to me, every day. I used to see in news that this many people are still unemployed, among them many were engineers and doctors, I used to think, if those people are failing to land a job, then who am I to compete with them.
But still I kept going, the only belief I had was in Sumukhi teacher and Sumita teacher ( Manjari Trust ), they were always like ki "bass tum padho, sab acha hojayega".
I had joined Manjari Trust when I was around 8 years old. The sole reason for me for joining this trust was to learn to be more confident in English, but as days went on, it was not just about learning school subjects; we were being trained to face the hardships we would face as someone from not so well background. Here, the teachers helped everyone equally, focused more on those who were lacking and still held our hand even when we joined our college.
My college fees and even the tuition fees were being paid by the Manjari Trust (Internally, I used to think that I was their favourite child, and still do think). Even my family trust them so much that they never doubted any of their decisions, "Madam ne kaha hai na, toh fir acche keliye hi hoga"
Lastly I would say that, the life I got to experience now, would not have been the same without them; the height I got to reach would not have been possible without the support they had provided
Will always be thankful that I had the opportunity to be the student of Manjari Trust.
I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Mathematics and Computing at the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT).
My association with Manjari Trust goes back to when I was in Class 6. Since then, the guidance, encouragement, and mentorship I have received has been an important part of my educational journey.
The Trust has also supported me through sponsorship for my undergraduate education, which has been a great help in enabling me to continue my studies and pursue my academic goals. The continued financial support for my Master’s degree was extremely helpful. I am deeply grateful for this continued support and for the trust they have placed in me throughout my journey.
The support has always gone beyond financial assistance. The guidance and mentorship provided by Sumukhi Ma’am and Sumita Ma’am have played a significant role in shaping my journey. They are not only kind, supportive, and caring but also wonderful teachers who genuinely believe in the potential of their students.
Their constant encouragement has taught me to face challenges with confidence, remain focused on my goals, and never stop learning. This has helped me grow not only academically but also as an individual.
I feel privileged to be one of the many students whose lives have been positively influenced by Manjari Trust. Their efforts to support, mentor, and guide students are creating opportunities for many young people to pursue their dreams and build successful futures. I am proud to be one of them.
I am truly grateful to Manjari Trust for being a constant source of support, guidance, and inspiration throughout my educational journey.
I had the opportunity to be a part of Manjari Trust from when I was in 5th standard.
The teachers at Manjari Trust have helped me not only in my academics but also in developing the confidence to make bold decisions for my future. Their guidance and encouragement have played an important role in shaping my journey.
I am truly grateful to Manjari Trust for the financial support they provided for my further studies. This support helped me continue my education and build my career. Their guidance, care, and encouragement have made a meaningful difference in my life.
I was sponsored for my HSC by the Trust. Following this I worked as an Inter at Manjari Centre for two years. I taught English, Maths and Marathi to small children. Devi Ma'am and Sumita Ma'am supported me a lot. They taught me new methods which I could easily explain and teach to the children; clearing the base of the children at the centre so that they do not face any problem later on. After studies, we also made the small children play activities and games which they enjoyed a lot. Teaching is not the only purpose at Manjari Centre, they also pay attention to what the children are learning there and what is good for their future.
मुझे बहुत खुशी हुई आपके साथ पढकर. आपलोगी मुझे बहुत support किया हैं। आपलोगी कि वजह से मैं यहाँ तक पहुँची । आप जैसे teachers हमें ना पढ़ति तो कभी अच्छे मार्क्स नहीं ला पाते। हम आपके बहुत आभारी हैं। हमारी परिस्थती नही थी की हम ट्यून लगा ले, पर सेंटर कि वजह से हम रोज पद सकते थे।
आप जैसेTeachers जोकी बिना बारिशा कि परवाह करे दूर दूर से हमें पढ़ाने आते थे । आप सब की वजह से मैं अभी 11वीं में हूँ और जल्द ही 12वीं में हो जाऊँगा। आप सभी की तरफ से प्यार, देवी मैम मैथ्स न करने पर मेरे गाल खींचती थीं, आरती मैम साइंस का जवाब न देने पर क्लास से बाहर भेज देती थीं, होमवर्क न करने पर घर भेज देती थीं। गुस्सा करने के बजाय आपने हमें काबिल बनाया। इसलिए, मुझे और हमारी कक्षाओं को इतने प्यार और सहयोग से पढ़ाने के लिए मेरे सभी शिक्षकों को बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद।
मैं अब एक इंटर्न हूँ। सुबह अपनी क्लास के बाद, मैं सेंटर आती हूँ और बच्चों को पढ़ाने में मुन्नी मैडम, कविता मैडम और प्रदन्या मैडम की मदद करती हूँ। मुझे मज़ा आ रहा है और मैं बहुत कुछ सीख रही हूँ।
Since 5th standard I'm part of the manjari trust... It is not only ordinary trust but it us a place where children learn, play and grow; not only physically but also mentally. Our teachers always helped us in our studies. They have not taught only the textbook but also they have taught us how to be a good human being among other things. They always cheer me on to help me reach my goal. I am very blessed to part of this trust.
I'm very Thankful to manjari trust and the teachers of the trust who always guide me in my life and who gives support to me to achieve my dream.
मी पाचवी ते दहावी पर्यंत मंजारी ट्रस्ट मधे शिकलो.तेथील शिक्षकांनी मला ऊत्तम शिक्षण दिले. सुमूखी मॅडम विज्ञान आणि इंग्लिश खूप चांगल शिकवायच्या. सुमीता मॅडम गणित हा विषय उत्तमरीत्या शिकवायच्या. माझ इंग्लिश व्याकरण खूपच खराब होत तेव्हा कविता मॅडम नी खूप मदत केली आणि उत्तमरीत्या शिकवलं. मंजारी ट्रस्ट मध्ये मी जायला लागलो तेव्हा मी खुप शिस्तबद्ध झालो आणि मला वेळेचे महत्व समजले. मंजारी ट्रस्ट मधील सर्व शिक्षकांनी मला खूप मदत केली चांगले शिक्षण दिले मार्गदर्शन केलं अजूनही करतात. माझ्या भविष्याच्या पुढील वाटचालीसाठी मॅडम मला ऊत्तम मार्गदर्शन करतात. आतापर्यंतचा मंजारी ट्रस्ट सोबतचा माझा अनुभव खूपच अविस्मरणीय आहे. धन्यवाद.
I have been with the trust since I was in 9th. I have learnt a lot from my teachers. Their teaching style was very good; and made us interested in studies. They were worried about our future. If any difficult situation came up, they made it easy and they were always there to help us. They encouraged us and are still encouraging us. We always had so many activities and also many new teachers to help us in our studies. This journey, we will never forget. Lots of thanks for making me a successful student.
I have been with manjari trust since 7 years of age. Our Teachers would spend a lot of time explaining things to us; so that we could gain confidence in English and Maths. Maths would be taught using examples from ‘day-to-day’ life, so that our learning became relevant. To improve our English, our teachers would ask us to read books and focus on our grammar too.
Punctuality was very important also. I realise the importance of that now. We were all (girls and boys) equal for our teachers, and that made a lot of difference.
Thanks manjari trust and all the teachers who helped us in our childhood days to improve our vocabulary and confidence.
I have been with Manjari trust since I was just 11 years old. It was not just a NGO for me and others who were part of it, even though I was the student of the trust I am still considered as a member of it.
They helped us providing us the important thing 'education'. For teaching us they used to translate the lesson and then learn by themselves and then only they started teaching. Teachers were strict when it came to completion of work and punctuality. There was a lot of focus on using English, especially while doing Maths and Science. We were always encouraged to read books and comprehend what we were reading. This gave us so much of confidence, that college hasn’t been too difficult at all. There as so many things that I enjoyed and learnt at the centre.
We have been (and still continue to be) a part of the Trust. From childhood to 10th you taught us and your teaching method was very nice. The trust and teachers always taught us well and with so much of respect. . The trust only looked at giving us a wholesome education; never bothered whether we were poor or rich. All the teachers have more than helped us. Thanks to all my teachers.
