I, Swati Phulphagar, am the Managing Trustee. I have had 27 years of full-time experience, personally, in the field of charity and education, which includes having started The Mamta Trust in 2010. (The 80-G tax exemption status came through in 2013) We have 300 underprivileged 3-5 year olds at present, getting a quality fast-track education in 2 schools on the outskirts of Pune that cater to 300 children from poor semi-rural communities!
With a unique curriculum which has a cutting-edge blend of the best early learning methods in the world, both old, and new, we have formed our own unique curriculum called "The Mamta Curriculum". This includes lots of encouragement and love, because when children enjoy the learning process, they learn way faster! Don’t we all?
We also use quality teaching materials and eclectic educational props, as well as good stationery. They also receive smart uniforms, and a set of quality books and stationery, all free of cost. Hence they feel extra proud of going to school. Their parents too feel proud in sending their kids to school!
One of our main Donors backed out last year in September and since then we are just struggling to raise funds to keep the NGO running. It is not necessary that the donations be in cash. You can also help us by donating Stationery, or chairs and desks or sponsoring the food or toys because every little help is appreciated!

These are our ballpark figures and funding needs:
- We need Rs. 30,000/- per child per year to cover all their education, uniform, stationery and food costs for a year.
- We need Rs. 7.5 lakhs to run both our schools per month.

Other than this, we pay rent to the landlord where the classrooms are set up. We have 11 people as a team that comprises of the teachers, and the help, whose salary we have to pay. We also need funds to cook a healthy snack for the kids everyday.
Each rupee is accounted for in terms of the quality of uniforms, books and food that we provide to our children. Any interest donor who needs more information regarding the same can contact directly as well on the e-mail swati.themamtatrust@gmail.com
Our usage of funds is very transparent and we will be happy to provide any additional information.
Thank you!
