Vinimay Members receiving special Commendation Award at the Best Change Interventions of Asia Seminar and Awards 2013, from Mr. Sudhir Vasudeva, CMD-ONGC Ltd.
Vinimay Trust is a NGO and Public Charitable Trust working since 1982 with underprivileged children and youth in the Child Welfare Institutions (CWIs) in Mumbai.
At Vinimay, our key belief is that social work is not charity but in fact is social participation and more a mutual exchange. “Vinimay” in Sanskrit, means an “exchange” and we strongly believe that we get back as much or even more than what we put in.
The main focus of Vinimay’s activities has been the welfare and betterment of children residing in CWI’s and the destitute youth emerging from such CWI’s. [Why Vinimay?]
Our field of work involve two broad areas:
Child Welfare:
Helping under-privileged children living in child welfare institutions (CWIs or free boarding schools) by supplementing the work of the CWIs.
Youth Welfare:
Rehabilitation of under-privileged youth emerging out of such institutions by way of job placements, accommodation, interest free loans, medical aid, personality development etc.

We pride ourselves in our non-hierarchical approach to work, wherein, Vinimay as an organization is not only run by volunteers, but, also managed by them. This enables socially conscious volunteers to work with a reasonable degree of freedom, thereby utilizing their full potential. Vinimay Trust was registered in 1989 as a charitable trust under Mumbai Public Trusts Act of 1950. Registration number is E-12286 (Mumbai).
Vinimay's Philosophy
'Vinimay' in Sanskrit means 'exchange' and our name is the epitome of our philosophy - that we are not just ‘giving to’ but also ‘receiving from’ our beneficiaries.
Knowledge is an evolving chain of milestones on the eternal voyage of learning -
- a pilgrimage where the master and the pupil both are students
- where every interaction is transformational and not transactional
Vinimay believes in raising the average, rather than honing excellence! In the former endeavour are the self-sprouting seeds of the latter.
Mission
To provide support to the underprivileged children from Child Welfare Institutions (CWIs) and youth emerging from these CWIs - towards their overall development with the purpose of improving self-esteem, emotional stability and earning capacity for rehabilitation into mainstream society
Vision
To create equal opportunities for the rehabilitation of underprivileged children and youth
