Holistic Education Mission has taken an initiative to uplift the nearby region of Jagiri. Whether it is in the field of education or to empower the economically backward class of society. I appreciate and salute their mission for the betterment of society. All my good wishes to them.

“Fundraiser and sponsor, USA
On my first visit to HEM ashram in Jan 2019, my husband and I were impressed by the founders’ devotion to serve the underprivileged children in tribal mountainous villages near Dharampour, about 60 Kilometers from Valsad. Since then, we have participated in the various projects to ensure clean water supply and provide adequate toilet/septic facilities. A well and a pond have been dug and rain water harvesting techniques are being implemented. In spite of the harsh conditions and inhospitable surroundings, It is heartening to see happy faces and innocence at its best! I encourage you to learn a little more about this fledgling organization and find it in your heart to support its operations.

As I experienced first hand, Babal, who was a sponsored boy himself and his wife Sheetal are tireless in their efforts to keep the place afloat as so many local kids and orphans depend on them for their safety, food, lodgings and education”.

It has been a real blessing to be able to sponsor an orphan child and be a part of the journey at HEM for all these years. When I visited them with my team in 2017 I felt like I wanted to partner with them. I knew that they were a good ground to sow into, as I personally know Babal and Sheetal for over the last 10 years. Their dedication and honesty to shepherd the vision that almighty has given them to help build a strong foundation through education for children in Jagiri. I really feel a part of everything they do for the children and the community in Jagiri. I always encourage others to partner with them as they are doing Good work. God bless HEM and all its leaders and staff more as they serve the children and people in Jagiri.

I have known Babal and Sheetal for more than a decade now. They are kind, compassionate, and totally committed to the cause. This is clearly evident in all that they do. They are always mindful of others’ needs before theirs. I am inspired by the work they are doing for these needy children, who otherwise would never get the opportunity to get quality education in their life.

I have known Babal and Sheetal for over a decade now and I have never seen such beautiful and selfless souls in my life. Their compassion for doing great work for the society is just amazing. I am happy to be a part of the HEM family since 2012. I wish for this organization to become successful in achieving its goals & objectives for underprivileged kids and people in Jagiri region. More strength and love to the founders and supporters of HEM Ashram.

Have been following HEM since about 2010. I saw it grow from a small gathering of children to a full fledged school. It's been a place of shelter for the poor and needy, always standing by the students and their families through hard times and good, sharing their joy and sorrow. Slowly but surely they have grown in every area of teaching and holistic development for the child. I have seen them spread their wings and take off from small beginnings to a full fledged institution. Their compassion during COVID was unmatched reaching out to this interior region of Jagiri. It's been heart warming to see the founders treat the children at H.E.M as their family and invest their lives into the children's bright future.

Their work is a powerful example of dedicated service, and I will continue to enthusiastically support their mission. They are a beacon of positive change.
