About Us



The Mulchand & Parpati Thadhani Foundation as the  501 (C) (3) Private Family  Foundation,  and  a register charity in the State of New York was established  in June 2000.  Its operational base is  in Mount. Kisco, New York. 

The MPTF geographically focuses on  India. Since 2003; we have chosen  the city of  Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal to be the India base; focusing on Socio-Economic Empowerment of the capacity deprived urban & rural communities,  with special  focus on women/ girls, and people living below the international and national  poverty rate.  The aim is to engage in Capacity Building and Empowerment projects implemented by the grass root/community based organization, and small scale NGOs. 

The MPTF  approach is Human Rights Based, and in keeping with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UN/1948), as well as, the  Millennium Declaration (UN/2000), targeting on Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). We focus on  MDGs as our frame of reference.

 

                                         
  Partnership Building: To Make A Difference


The MPTF mode of  operanion is characterized by multi-level and layered partnership building with local, national and International entities, such as  individuals, foundations, trusts, corporations, government bodies, I-NGOs and United Nations' bodies ; to work with solidarity  toward   common  causes. The multiple partnerships call for networking, sharing, and ultimately, working toward  Socio-Economic Capacity Building of the  marginalized who are deprived of their Basic Human Rights. We actively  engage in the Development Process  with the UN, and represent The MPTF's Mission & Goals at various NGO related  activities  within the UN System. We engage in Speaking Forums  and other formats for participation where ever possible.


 We focus on  making the difference by contributing  to  “Power of Ideas”   and   resources in terms of time, energy, cash and kind. We believe such powerful collaborations as a process, are bound to see the results for the deprived through solidarity, support and empowerment.

We invite every one to support the MPTF Mission through tax-deductibility; as well as, in any other way. Please contact us—share your ideas, so that we work together for the common causes;  the disadvantaged people Living Below International Poverty Line of US$1.00 per day.
