Program Manager - Mahesh Safety Net

 

Who are we - About Tarachand Ramnath Seva Trust

 With the vision of “Bringing communities together to create and sustain a better tomorrow”, Tarachand Ramnath Seva Trust (TRUST) is now the primary means of bringing about social change for the Rathi family. TRUST aims to narrow the gap between the world as it is and the world we aspire to live in. Our interventions focus on creating strategic, structured, measurable philanthropic initiatives.

 

What is Mahesh Safety Net? 

 

Mahesh Safety Net is an initiative undertaken by the Tarachand Ramnath Seva Trust. MSN aims to ensure that the vulnerable families from Maheshwari communities in Pune do not fall prey to any calamity/struggle. The idea is to have well-to-do members from the same community come together and create an ecosystem that ensures the community's overall welfare.

 

The analogy is drawn from the safety net for high-wire walkers that we usually find in a circus. The net protects these walkers and catches them mid-air in a gentle fall if they slip during their act.
