“A Candle loses nothing by lighting another Candle”
Welcome to the website of the Basic Charitable Trust.
We are focused mainly on two objectives; 1) Education 2) Health Care
All children are born equal. All of them must be given good education. Basic Charitable Trust works to improve the facilities in Govt. schools to impart good education to all the children.
This includes providing technology training particularly to girls.
All lives have equal value. Accordingly every citizen must get the best medical care possible. Basic Charitable Trust works to improve the facilities in Govt. hospitals to provide good medical care to all citizens.
Education empowers an individual and is the best solution to reduce social and economic disparity. Education provides an individual with self esteem. Each child has a right to a good education and the Basic Charitable Trust is taking steps to make that possible.
Technology training for girls and boys is a key enabler.
Each individual must have access to good health care facility. Basic Charitable Trust identifies the needs of local Govt. hospitals and provides them with equipments and infrastructure arrangements to improve the standard of health care.
