Testimonials
“In our wasti the community toilet was in pathetic condition with broken doors and lights, so we were scared to go there at night. Following the renovation of the community toilet, it is well lit, with good flooring and doors.”
Mrs. Mehjaveen Shaikh, Shinde wasti
"We faced challenges due to the lack of proper toilet infrastructure, especially for our girl students. This much-needed facility has not only resolved a critical issue but has also contributed significantly to creating a healthier and more dignified environment for our students.”
Mr. Kamalakar Gharge, Principal, M. Gandhi Vidyalay, Pusesavali, Satara
"The completed infrastructure is of excellent quality and reflects a strong commitment to creating a better learning environment for our students. We are especially thankful for the distribution of educational kits to our students, which has supported their learning and encouraged regular attendance.”
Mr. Dhanaji Katangale, Teacher, ZP School, Kameri, Satara
My internship at MASHAL gave me valuable practical exposure and a deeper understanding of the realities faced by vulnerable communities. Working on the Vrudha Mitra project strengthened my communication skills and showed me the true impact of community-centred social work. It never felt like just an internship—it felt like contributing to society, and the experience will continue to shape my personal and professional journey.
