About Us

K. M Sonawala Charitable trust is engaged in promoting education, agriculture infrastructure and self sustaining activities for the tribal girls of Kaprada village in the Dharampur district near Valsad, Gujarat. We are running a girls hostel where all opportunities for education up to 12th standard are made available to the girls. At present the hostel accommodates over 130 girls from the 8th to 12th standard. These girls come from over 65 villages around Kaprada Taluka.

The trust has spent an excess of 2.5 crores over the period of 30 years on the project. We began at a grass root level and have generated infrastructural & allied facilities. The project has been acclaimed by many eminent personalities. Thanks to this education the girls have grown in confidence and have learnt to fend for themselves. They have become independent, they can manage their lives and hence their families a lot better as well. Education has given them a opportunity to improve in all aspects of life.  We have seen a sea of change in their approach to education, finance, health and hygiene, agriculture and even the simple of things in life. this has given us the motivation to keep growing and touch more lives.
