From a Belief Into a Movement
The Sangita Tapkir Social Foundation began not in an office, but in a conversation — about the children in Moshi who couldn't afford school bags, about the women in Kondhwa who had skills but no access to training, about the lanes in Pune that needed more green.
Registered in 2024 as a Section 8 company, STSF is built on a radical premise: that a foundation should cost nothing to run, so every rupee of donation can go entirely to the people it's meant to serve. Our founders bear all operational costs personally.
