Who we are

A resource-rich ecosystem built around one belief: talent is everywhere, opportunity is not.

Founded in 2003 by Shri Parimal Parmar, the Malvi Educational & Charitable Trust serves children from the five predominantly tribal districts of South Gujarat, a region where over 80% of rural families are small farmers or landless labourers, and early dropout is the norm, especially for girls.

Education and full residential care are provided free of cost. 98% of our students are tribal, 44% are orphans or from single-parent homes, and 60% are girls.

  • From preschool to STD 12, and onward through college as alumni.
  • Holistic growth: academics, sports, arts, values & vocational skills.
  • Fully registered: 80G, 12A, FCRA, CSR-1 & NGO Darpan.
The challenge

Prosperous Gujarat has one of the highest secondary-school dropout rates in India, and economically poor tribal children are the worst affected. Poor quality of education and no access to residential schooling in higher grades keep gifted children locked out of life-changing careers. MECT exists to break that cycle, systematically.
