The Savitri Waney Charitable Trust Information

An established family trust, we are driven by a belief that every person has a right to good health. Since 2001, we’ve funded over £14 million to organisations globally that improve the well-being of individuals and communities. Historically our programme focus has been largely in India but in recent years, this has expanded and now reaches communities globally. We are a small team, aware of our positionality and responsibility as philanthropists and know that our work goes beyond simply giving grants. We collaborate with individuals, organisations and funding institutions globally to address and fund the interconnected health and environmental issues we face today. Through these partnerships we believe our funding, knowledge and experience is having the biggest impact, helping to build resilient communities and ecosystems. We are continuously learning and identifying ways to contribute to meaningful change in our approach to what and how we fund and take great care to ensure that the decisions we make support communities to thrive.
