About Us

Bringing A Change

We are on a mission to uplift lives

At Riday Foundation, we believe that empowered communities and a healthy environment are the keys to a better future. Founded in 2016 by Mr. Ganesh Nayak, our journey began with a simple but powerful vision: to offer essential aid to marginalized communities and protect our natural world. Over the years, we have expanded our mission to encompass a wide range of humanitarian and environmental initiatives, from providing disaster relief and educational support to planting trees and promoting sustainability. We strive to create lasting change by addressing the most pressing needs of underserved communities and ensuring that our actions contribute to a more equitable and greener planet.

Caring for Every Life

We provide access to essential healthcare services, from medical aid to health camps in remote villages, ensuring that even the most vulnerable receive the care they need to live healthy lives.

Supporting Self-Sufficiency

By promoting sustainable farming practices and supporting rural farmers with resources and training, we help communities build stable, self-sufficient livelihoods that contribute to food security.

Empowering the Future

Through targeted programs, we focus on empowering women and children with education, vocational training, and mentorship, giving them the tools they need to break the cycle of poverty.

A Legacy of Growth

From grassroots beginnings to a broad-reaching mission

The Riday Foundation was born from a deep sense of compassion and commitment to making a difference. Established in 2016 by Mr. Ganesh Nayak, the founder of Animal Matter to Me, the foundation’s initial focus was on helping tribal communities in Maharashtra. What began as small-scale efforts to provide rations and clothing to families in need soon grew into a larger movement, addressing critical areas such as education, healthcare, and environmental preservation.

Our founder’s passion for nature led to tree-planting drives that have grown in scale over the years, turning barren land into green havens and providing sustainable livelihoods for many. Simultaneously, Riday Foundation recognized the urgent need for medical assistance in remote areas and began providing aid for surgeries and long-term treatments for those who could not afford it.

Our focus has always been on creating real, sustainable change—whether by helping a child access education, providing life-saving medical aid, or promoting environmental conservation. Today, we are proud to continue this legacy, working tirelessly to empower communities and protect the planet.
