सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः ।
सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत् ॥
May all be happy. May all be free from illness. May all see what is auspicious. May no one suffer.
Empowerment is the surest way to a stronger community.
In his memory
The Kanakia Foundation is a private foundation begun in 2020, in memory of Chandrakant Devidas Kanakia. For more than fifty years he gave his time to the community in Kandivali, Mumbai. The foundation exists to carry that service forward, in health, education, and the everyday dignity of a community.
Four areas of work
Each effort belongs to one of these. Where a group is already doing the work, we would rather support them than start a second effort.
-
Education Scholarships, books, and tools so a child can keep learning.
-
Enterprise and self-reliance Help for people starting something of their own, and for financial literacy.
-
Language and history Gujarati, and the centuries of Indian history that usual accounts skip.
-
Elders Keeping senior citizens in conversation with the families they raised.
