Ambuja Cement Foundation

Established in 1993, Ambuja Cement Foundation is a grassroots pan-India implementing organisation that harnesses the power of partnerships –between communities, Government and other like-minded corporates and NGOs – to help solve pressing community problems and to foster prosperity. For the past 25 years, ACF has created significant impact. A full-fledged Research and Monitoring Unit, along with numerous external, independent studies show significant change – in income levels, health indicators and overall harmony and happiness. Our work has spread beyond our core villages, and by working hand in hand with like-minded organisations, we aim to significantly impact the pressing issues currently inhibiting our country. Mahatma Gandhi famously once said "The future of India lies in its villages"​. Armed with this belief and a modest budget of Rs. 15 lakh, ACF began working with the rural community in Kodinar, Gujarat in 1993 to address the needs of 15 villages. Today ACF works with over 1473 villages in 22 locations & 11 states across India, investing over Rs. 100 crores annually to create sustainable livelihoods for rural communities. With over 25 years of experience & 523 modest heroes working tirelessly each day, ACF is building this great nation at its roots. The journey has had many a good samaritan helping along the way, partners who have helped ACF touch many more rural lives. There is much more to be done and ACF is constantly on the lookout for partners who can multiply the impact of the work it does.
