Story of the changemaker
Growing up with a visible disab*lity, Arun Mayavan spent years trying to fit into a world that didn’t always accept him. But there was one person who gave him strength — his friend Ashish. After losing him, Arun wanted to honour his memory by helping children who face similar challenges. This became the beginning of the Ashish Foundation, built on empathy, inclusion, and care.

A Mission Rooted in Compassion
For many specially abled children with in underserved communities, getting regular nutritious meals is not always possible. Their parents often struggle to work full-time because their children need continuous support at home. This reduces income and makes it difficult to ensure consistent, child-friendly food at home.
Some children require food that is prepared in softer or easy-to-consume forms. Providing these meals every week becomes a challenge for families who are already managing many responsibilities.
How the Ashish Foundation Helps
For the past seven years, Arun has been working closely with families in the slums of Mumbai. The foundation focuses on providing:
Weekly groceries and nutrition kits
Food supplies suitable for each child’s needs
Regular home visits to ensure families receive consistent support
Small community activities that build confidence and inclusion
Every weekend, Arun personally visits each home to deliver essential groceries and items that help children receive the nourishment they need.
Why Your Support Matters
More than 70 children rely on this support. Arun contributes from his own modest income, but the growing needs make it difficult for him to continue this work alone.
Your contribution will help these children receive:
Consistent, nutritious meals
Essential supplies that support their daily needs
A sense of stability for their families
You Can Make a Lasting Difference
Your support will help the Ashish Foundation continue providing vital nutrition and care to children who truly need it. Every contribution plays a direct role in improving their daily lives.
Stand with Arun and help provide nutritious meals to 70+ specially abled children in Mumbai.
