About Raibasi Foundation (NGO)
The word "Raibasi" (रैबासी) comes from the Garhwali and Kumaoni dialects of Uttarakhand and refers to the native people of a place — those who remain connected to their land, culture, traditions, and community. Inspired by this meaning, Raibasi Foundation is committed to empowering people while preserving the values and roots that define them.
Registered and headquartered in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, Raibasi Foundation is an Indian non-profit organization and NGO with a pan-India presence, working across India to create positive and sustainable social impact. We believe that meaningful development comes through a collective focus on education, digital skills, health, livelihoods, women’s empowerment, child welfare, and community participation.
Our connection with Uttarakhand also makes us deeply aware of the challenges faced by rural mountain communities. Increasing migration from villages, often driven by limited access to quality education and opportunities, remains a major concern. To address this, we place special emphasis on educational, digital literacy, and skill-development initiatives in rural areas, helping young people build brighter futures within their own communities.
Our work spans multiple focus areas, including quality education, computer and digital literacy, future-ready skills, women’s empowerment, health and well-being, child welfare, and community development. We believe in empowering individuals rather than creating dependency, enabling people to gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to lead better lives.
As an Indian non-profit NGO rooted in Uttarakhand and working across India, Raibasi Foundation is dedicated to building stronger communities and a more inclusive, educated, empowered, and self-reliant India.
Our Vision
A more inclusive India where every individual has access to education, opportunity, dignity, and the confidence to thrive.
Our Mission
Empowering communities through education, digital skills, health, women’s empowerment, and sustainable development for lasting social change.
