A Home of Love,
Care & Dignity

Our journey began with a belief – a meaningful life is one spent in the service of others.
Inspired by the stories of selfless leaders like Baba Amte, Dr. Abhay Bang and many others who dedicated their lives to rural India, Mr. Komal Shah and Mrs. Mandakini Shah chose a similar path.

After retiring from over five decades of a successful business career in the garment industry, They moved away from city life and returned to their native region in Kutch with one purpose to serve communities with honesty, transparency, and dignity.

From the very beginning, their work focused on creating initiatives that are:

• Corruption-free and transparent
• Directly owned and community-driven
• Long-term, sustainable, and people-first

Starting with Matravandana Trust and Mavtar No Malo, they invested their own resources to set up senior citizen care initiatives and community programs that support vulnerable individuals with care, compassion, and respect.

The work wasn’t easy. Entering a new region with unconventional ideas meant facing hesitation and mistrust. But with time, sincerity, and consistent effort, the community recognised the intention behind their actions and joined hands.

Today, the organisation stands on one foundation:

“Do what you are able to do – and do it wholeheartedly.”

We continue to carry this philosophy forward, creating spaces where people are supported, empowered, and treated like family.
