About Us

  • About Us

Story so far

We started out in 2006, with group of like-minded individuals, committed to giving back to community to bring positive change, as we believe that the greatest necessity presents the greatest opportunity to serve. Our social initiatives provided vital necessities like food, medical help and education, to those most in need in Braj. These initial endeavors were most humbling experience, as often we served as last resort for many underprivileged families, positively reinforcing our passion to serve. After receiving tremendous encouragement and support from the community, we officially registered in 2009, and remain grateful and fortunate to have since served nearly 10,000 people and counting.

During our journey, we recognized the need for a self-sustaining social entrepreneurship business model, as economic impact of sporadic donations was undermining our passion to serve, including those in acute need. Love Braj social enterprise, was born as a solution to sustain our passion to serve providing health and dental services, food and education initiatives, along with initiatives to protect and nurture nature.  We thus structured a self-sustaining business model, allowing us to honor our social initiatives on a continual basis, as day-to-day operational and administrative costs are covered by services offered at Love Braj, while all profits are used for incremental charitable activities.

Moreover, Love Braj offers a novel matchless and groundbreaking feature, setting us apart from others, for you to be directly involved in service. We achieve this by using all of your generous donations 100% towards the cause, rather than conventional use of funds for overhead costs of running charities.  This pioneering model in effect lets you directly help those in actual need- a true inimitable Love Braj experience!

Journey ahead…

As a business, we are highly committed to expanding our services while maintaining highest standards, to best serve our customers.
