Rashmi Foundation carries the name of Smt. Rashmi Mehrotra.
She had always wanted to donate her organs. She wanted her death to be useful to someone she would never meet. Cancer made even that impossible. It was the one thing she asked for that her family could not give her.
This Trust is how they give it to her.
After her passing, her husband, Shri Santosh Kumar Mehrotra, established this Trust – not only in her memory, but in memory of her values. The intention was simple: that what she believed in should carry on working.
A cancer diagnosis in India is not only a medical event. It is a financial one. For a family with savings, it is devastating. For a family without them, it becomes a choice – continue treatment, or keep the household standing. Many families stop halfway. Many more never begin, because the tests that would confirm the diagnosis already cost more than a month’s income. Rashmi Foundation works at exactly that point. We pay for the diagnostics, the medicines and the care that a family cannot – and we stay with them, whether the road ahead leads to recovery or to comfort.
We are a public charitable trust registered under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882.
