Ruzbeh N. Bharucha, India
I have personally known Roshani and have seen her evolve into a person who has dedicated her life to uplift the underprivileged. I’ve been associated with Meher Roshani Foundation since its very inception and also spent time with the lovely children at MBCC who are empowered through education, medical, food, and all basic necessities. It’s so heartwarming to see the innocent smiles. I also really admire the LSA initiative to impart vocational life skills to the underprivileged, thus moving them towards financial independence. I am in awe of the wonderful selfless work thats being done by Meher Roshani Foundation. I’m very proud of being associated with them.

Delnaz R. Bharicha, Doha
I am deeply moved by the incredible impact the Meher Roshani Foundation has had on countless lives through their extensive range of programs. Over the years, their dedication and commitment have resulted in significant, tangible improvements in the lives of nearly 4,000 individuals.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Foundation’s unwavering support provided essential ration and medical supplies to over 700 families for a continuous period of 2.5 years. This generosity extended to three hospitals in Ratnagiri Khed, ensuring they had the necessary medical supplies to combat the crisis effectively. Their response to the devastating floods in Ratnagiri, where they provided clothing to 1,500 affected individuals, further exemplifies their readiness to offer immediate and practical help in times of disaster.
The establishment of the Meher Baba Children’s Centre (MBCC) in Meherabad, Ahmednagar, in March 2022, has been a beacon of hope for over 100 village children and their families. By offering education, medical care, clothing, uniforms, and a variety of activities, the Foundation has created a nurturing environment that promotes overall wellbeing and development.
The Foundation’s Life Skills Academy has been instrumental in empowering youth through vocational training, equipping young men and women with the skills necessary to secure better futures. The annual Happiness Event, held since 2011 for over 200 underprivileged children in Mumbai and expanded in 2022 to include MBCC children, brings joy and festive cheer, creating cherished memories and a sense of community.
Through regular free medical camps in Mumbai and at MBCC, in collaboration with affiliate partners, the Foundation addresses critical health needs. Their ongoing education and medical sponsorships ensure that children and adults alike receive the support they need to thrive. Additionally, their bi-monthly food distributions and periodic distributions of clothes, blankets, ration, and other essentials in Mumbai and Ahmednagar are a testament to their unwavering commitment to addressing basic needs and improving quality of life.
Moreover, the Foundation’s myriad programs for over 300 slum-dwelling children and women highlight their comprehensive approach to community upliftment. From healthcare to education and beyond, the Meher Roshani Foundation’s work is a shining example of compassion in action.
In summary, the Meher Roshani Foundation is not just a charitable organization; it is a lifeline and a beacon of hope for thousands. Their tireless efforts and diverse programs have brought profound, positive changes to countless lives, embodying the true spirit of service and humanity. It’s truly a privilege for our Institute and me to be part of this beautiful journey.

President - Whistling Woods International
Roshani met me to speak about Yuva Parivartan and our common goals. I was impressed and recognised her desire to do something for youth. I saw myself in her 35 years ago. Yuva Parivartan supports her efforts through her NGO Meher Roshani Foundation, encourages her through her lows, and celebrates her highs. In Mission mode, you don’t lose hope and never give up!! And Roshani seems to be the one who never gives up. My best wishes to her for all her endeavours.
