Education & Welfare for All
Empowering communities through education and welfare since 2010
MERCI Educational and Welfare Foundation was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to create equal opportunities for underprivileged communities through education, skill development, and comprehensive welfare support.
Founded in 2010 by a group of passionate educators and social workers, we started with a single learning center in Mumbai. What began as a modest initiative to provide free tuition to 20 children has now grown into a comprehensive organization touching thousands of lives annually.
Our holistic approach combines immediate relief through ration distribution with long-term empowerment through education and skill-building programs. We believe that sustainable change comes from addressing both immediate needs and creating pathways for future success.
