RAMVIJ CHARITY FUND LIMITED Charity Registered number . 1136542 Trustees's. Report The directors present their report and financial ststements for the year ended 29 June 2024. Principal activitlos The company's principal activity during the year continued to be charitsble work to help disadvantsged children in India. Ramvij - Origln8 and Misslon We were inspired to set up our charity, ramvlj, by the memory of our grandfather, Ramhai Patel. He was known as the Prince of Baroda { Baroda is a city in the north-western state of Gujarat in Indla ). Our grandfather was accorded his princely status because of his generous heart and care for those in need around hlm. He invited who arrived on his doorstep to enter hls home, treating them as a member of his family, and feeding them as much as they wanted until they could eat no more. Homelessness, the struggle to survive and lack of opportunity exist today in India just as they did in our grandfather's day. Ramvij's mission is to further our grandfather's legacy by raising funds to support directly projects that help abandoned and needy children - by giving them shelter, food, and educational opportunities that will improve their life prospects. At the moment Ramvij ralses funds only through famlly and frlends, who mostly donate on sea monthly basis. Ramvij also holds charity events, such as the Mehfil nights, which bring in additional fundraising. Because the charity is run entirely by family members and friends giving their time free of charge, there are currently no administration costs.. 1000/0 of the funds raised are used directly to help the children.
