Began in 1978 under the patronage of Saurashtra Medical & Educational Charitable Trust, Project 'Life' operates in different fields of humanitarian activities since the past 38 years. With a goal to reach out to people living in the last mile, and improving their living standard, the organisation gives access to the inaccessible.
Several dignitaries and professionals have visited the organisation, including Christian missionary Mother Teresa, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amitabh Bachchan and wife Jaya, Shabana Azmi, Morari Bapu, Sachin Tendulkar, and others. In the Education Sector, Project 'Life' contribution can be described as matchless. In the aftermath of the 2001 earthquake that ruined the rural areas in several parts of Gujarat, Project 'Life' undertook an initiative to construct the building infrastructure of primary schools in several rural areas across the state. Until now, infrastructure of 71 schools has been achieved.
The foundation has now set a goal of building 108 primary schools. It has also launched a 'Kit-based Science Education' programme with the sponsorship of the USA-based non-government organisations - New York Life Foundation and Share & Care Foundation. The programme aims to well-verse the primary school going students from the remotest villages of Gujarat in science and mental aptitude.
Initiated in 2008, the 'Life Women Empowerment Centre' aims to make widows and women living 'Below Poverty Line' self-reliant, by training them in trades like sewing, embroidery work, computer operation, catering and beauty parlour. Trained women are provided with vocational-kits provided free-of-cost.
Project 'Life' also manages the 'Life Blood Centre initiated in 1981, state-of-the-art infrastructure, spread across 15,000 square feet building area. The centre has issued 561,172 units of blood and blood components until now.
Project ‘Life’ through ‘Life Greenfield Centre’ addresses greening the environment initiative, for a better healthy tomorrow of the nation and citizens. Initiated in 1990, till now 251,165 plants nurtured up to 6-8 feet have been delivered, for replantation through ‘Life Greenfield Centre’.
NRG Centre
In 2011, Gujarat Government entrusted one of its six Non-Resident Gujaratis (NRG) centres to Project ‘Life’, Rajkot. Whenever NRIs and NRGs visit their motherland they were given information regarding tourism, ‘Gujarat Card’ etc. by this NRG centre. Seminars have also been organized in past by this centre on topics of interest to NRIs and NRGs.
