Beyond the classroom, MAVI Foundation runs community drives that put a smile on a child's face — distributing new clothes and warm meals during Durga Puja, Kali Puja, Saraswati Puja, Ratha Yatra and other festivals, so no child is left out of the celebration.
In Kolkata's biggest festival seasons, a new set of clothes and a good meal are simple joys that many families can't afford. We believe no child should watch a celebration from the outside.
So alongside our education programmes, MAVI Foundation organises clothes & food distribution drives timed around the festivals children look forward to most — turning a day of want into a day of belonging.
Each occasion becomes a reason to gather the community, share a meal and hand out something new to wear.

We also run drives for other regional festivals and winter clothing needs through the year.
Fresh, brand-new festive wear for children — because dignity starts with something that's truly their own.
Nutritious festive food shared together, so every child sits down to a proper meal on a special day.
A child's first new outfit for Pujo is a memory that lasts long after the festival ends.
Given with care and respect, not as charity that draws attention — just neighbours helping neighbours.
Celebrating together strengthens the bond between our students, their families and the community.
Small acts of kindness during festivals remind children that people outside their home care too.
Sponsor an outfit, contribute rations, or simply volunteer on distribution day — every bit of help lets another child join the celebration.
