Our Story

A dream that lives on

Every child is born with dreams. Our story is about making sure they get the chance to chase them.

How it began

Dreams that refused
to be forgotten

Every child is born with dreams, but not every child gets the chance to fulfil them.

Today, Deepa Maurya is no longer with us, but her dreams continue to inspire our mission. Seeing children struggle without education, care and opportunities deeply touched our hearts.

To keep her vision alive, friends Ashwini Kadam and Shivpratap Maurya came together to establish Mind Growup Foundation.

Our mission is simple: to provide education, support, hope and opportunities to children who need them most. Every smile we create and every future we help build is a tribute to Deepa Maurya's dream.

Mind Growup Foundation is not just an NGO. It is a family, a hope, and a promise that no child will be left behind.

Why we exist

Our Mission

Three promises guide everything we do, from a single classroom to an entire community.

Education for Every Child

Books, classrooms and teachers, so learning is never a privilege but a right every child can claim.

Hope & Care

Nutrition, safety and a caring hand, because every child deserves to feel seen, supported and loved.

Building Future Leaders

Mentorship and skills that turn potential into confidence, raising children who lift others as they rise.

The difference, in numbers

Growing impact, every year
