Ruparelia Foundation Extends Support To Nansana Children During Christmas

As Christmas approached in Nansana, the atmosphere at Moksha Preaching and Training Centre was alive with anticipation. Children lined the compound, their excitement mingling with the sounds of festive songs, as the Ruparelia Foundation arrived to deliver gifts and essential supplies aimed at easing the pressures of daily life and supporting education.

The initiative, led by Krishna Ruparelia, wife of businessman Dr Sudhir Ruparelia, reflected a continuity of engagement that has become a hallmark of the foundation’s outreach work.

The donation, valued at millions of shillings, included mattresses, bed covers, rice, sugar, salt, and scholastic materials. Each item was chosen not simply for its immediate utility but for its potential to improve living conditions and foster learning in a setting where children largely depend on external support. “These items are meant to support your daily lives and education. Please use them wisely and take good care of them,” Krishna Ruparelia told the children, emphasizing discipline, responsibility, and the importance of sustaining the benefits of the gifts beyond the festive season.

The foundation has a longstanding relationship with Moksha Preaching and Training Centre, covering school fees for more than forty children in addition to providing learning materials and basic necessities. Caretakers at the centre described the support as transformative, noting that consistent attention from the foundation has restored hope and enabled many children to focus on education rather than the uncertainties of survival. “The Ruparelia Foundation has not only provided for material needs but also reminded these children that their wellbeing matters to the wider community,” said one caretaker.

The festive donation this year carried an additional layer of significance. It was made in memory of the late Rajiv Ruparelia, whose vision for the foundation emphasized social responsibility and uplifting vulnerable communities.

Krishna Ruparelia highlighted that the work being carried out at Nansana was part of a broader commitment to honouring that legacy. “Rajiv believed that uplifting the less privileged is a shared responsibility. We shall continue this work in his memory,” she said, reaffirming the foundation’s ongoing dedication to child welfare and education across the country.

For the children, the day was a rare occasion of celebration, marked not only by the arrival of gifts but also by the presence of people who have taken an active interest in their growth and wellbeing.

Beyond the material contributions, the outreach symbolized continuity, care, and hope, reflecting a philosophy that blends compassion with sustained engagement.

In Nansana, as in other communities supported by the foundation, the festive season became a reminder that targeted interventions, guided by long-term commitment, can make the promise of opportunity tangible even for the most vulnerable.
