Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most serious public health challenges in India. Malnutrition weakens the immune system and increases vulnerability to TB, making proper nutrition a crucial part of recovery. To support TB patients during their treatment, Olive Trust, under the NI-KSHAY Initiative of the Government of India, provides monthly ration kits containing essential nutritional supplements. These kits help patients regain their strength, boost their immunity, and improve their overall well-being, ensuring a faster and more effective recovery.
The Importance of Nutrition for TB Patients
TB treatment involves long-term medication, which can have side effects like weakness, nausea, and loss of appetite. Malnourished patients are at a higher risk of complications and may take longer to recover. Proper nutrition:
Nutrient-Rich Monthly Ration Kit
Each ration kit is carefully designed to provide the necessary calories, proteins, vitamins, and minerals essential for TB patients. The kit includes:
Ensuring Fair Distribution and Impact
A Step Towards Recovery, Not Dependency
This initiative is designed not just to provide food but to support TB patients in regaining their health so they can return to work and lead normal lives. By ensuring that patients complete their full TB treatment with proper nutrition, we contribute to the Government’s mission of eliminating tuberculosis from India.
How You Can Help
Your support can bring hope and healing to TB patients struggling with malnutrition. By sponsoring a monthly ration kit, you help a patient recover faster, fight TB effectively, and regain their strength.
A Beautiful Islamic Teaching on Feeding the Sick
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“Feed the hungry, visit the sick, and free the captives.” (Sahih Bukhari 5373)
Join us in this noble cause. Together, we can fight TB and give patients a chance at a healthier future.
Caring for a sick loved one in a hospital can be emotionally and physically exhausting. In government hospitals, where patients often require long-term treatment, their attendees—family members and caregivers—face immense challenges. These individuals remain by their patient’s side, often for days or weeks, ensuring they receive the necessary care and attention. However, in the process, they neglect their own well-being, particularly when it comes to proper meals and hydration.
Recognizing this hardship, Olive Trust provides weekly cooked hot food packets and water bottles to these patient attendees, ensuring they receive fresh, nutritious, and hygienic meals while they focus on their loved ones.
Why This Initiative is Needed?
Many caregivers at government hospitals come from low-income backgrounds. With limited financial resources, they struggle to afford regular meals or find time to arrange food. Many hospitals lack affordable food options nearby. Additionally, some caregivers fast or skip meals due to financial constraints, leading to weakness, fatigue, and deteriorating health.
Our initiative ensures:
✅ They receive at least one proper, nutritious meal per week.
✅ They don’t have to leave their patients unattended to arrange food.
✅ Free clean drinking water is available to keep them hydrated.
✅ The food is hygienic, fresh, and balanced, promoting good health.
Our team personally distributes these meals at hospitals, ensuring they reach the most deserving attendees who genuinely need assistance.
A Small Effort, A Big Difference
For many attendees, this simple meal means more than just food—it’s a sign that they are not alone in their struggles. A warm, nutritious meal relieves their hunger, restores energy, and allows them to focus on their patients without added stress.
Many recipients express deep gratitude, as they often spend days relying on dry snacks, tea, or leftover food. Our initiative not only nourishes their bodies but also uplifts their spirits.
How You Can Help?
This initiative is entirely donation-driven, and your contribution can help feed hundreds of caregivers every week. With just a small donation of Rs 60 you can sponsor hot meals and water bottles for those struggling in the hospitals taking care of their loved ones.
A Beautiful Islamic Teaching on Feeding the Hungry
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“He is not a believer whose stomach is full while his neighbor goes hungry.” (Sunan al-Kubra 19049, Sahih)
By supporting this noble cause, you provide relief to those who selflessly care for their loved ones. Join us in this mission to serve humanity with kindness and compassion.
Proper nutrition is a fundamental necessity for a healthy life, yet millions of underprivileged families struggle to afford a single protein-rich meal. Many survive on staple foods like rice and lentils, lacking essential nutrients, especially high-quality proteins that are crucial for growth, immunity, and overall well-being.
To address this critical nutritional gap, Olive Trust, with the generous sponsorship of Venky’s India Ltd., a leading name in the poultry industry, distributes monthly chicken meat packets to underprivileged families. This initiative ensures that even the most financially struggling households get access to nutritious, protein-rich food at least once a month.
The Need for Protein-Rich Nutrition Among the Poor
For low-income families, purchasing meat, eggs, or dairy products is often a luxury. Due to financial constraints, their diets consist mostly of carbohydrates, leading to protein deficiency, which can cause:
❌ Weak immune systems, making them prone to infections and illnesses.
❌ Malnutrition, particularly among children, affecting growth and brain development.
❌ Muscle loss and fatigue, reducing energy levels in daily life.
❌ Delayed recovery from illnesses, due to a lack of essential nutrients.
By providing fresh chicken meat, this initiative ensures that families who rarely, if ever, consume high-quality protein receive at least one wholesome, balanced meal every month.
What’s Included in the Chicken Meat Packets?
Each chicken meat packet is carefully packed and distributed fresh, ensuring hygiene and quality. The packets contain:
✔ Fresh, high-quality chicken meat (cleaned and portioned).
✔ Sufficient quantity for an average family meal.
✔ Packed hygienically to maintain freshness and safety.
A Beautiful Islamic Teaching on Feeding the Poor
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“The best of you are those who feed others.” (Musnad Ahmad 23408, Sahih)
By feeding the underprivileged, you are fulfilling a great act of kindness and bringing comfort to those in need.
Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and achieving a better future. However, many talented and hardworking students from underprivileged backgrounds struggle to continue their studies due to financial constraints. A lack of resources forces them to either drop out or compromise on their dreams, despite their dedication and potential.
To bridge this gap, Olive Trust provides educational aid in the form of tuition fees to sincere and deserving students who demonstrate high attendance, strong academic performance, and a genuine commitment to their studies. Our goal is to support bright minds so they can achieve their aspirations without financial burdens.
Selection Process – Ensuring Merit and Need-Based Support
To ensure that financial aid reaches the most deserving students, we follow a strict selection and verification process:
✔ Academic Excellence – Students must maintain good marks in exams, proving their dedication to education.
✔ High Attendance – We support those who actively participate in their studies and show commitment.
✔ Financial Need – Only students from low-income families are eligible, ensuring help goes to those who truly need it.
✔ Document Verification – All necessary records, including fee structures, academic performance reports, and financial backgrounds, are verified for transparency and accountability.
✔ Continuous Monitoring – We track the student’s progress and attendance to ensure they remain committed to their studies.
This transparent and merit-based approach ensures that our resources are utilized effectively and only deserving candidates receive assistance.
Supporting Higher Education Through Crowdfunding
While school and college fees are covered through regular funding, higher education expenses require additional financial support. For students pursuing MBBS, UPSC, engineering, law, and other professional courses, we organize crowdfunding campaigns to help them achieve their ambitions.
Why Crowdfunding?
✔ Higher education is expensive, and many students cannot afford tuition, exam fees, or books.
✔ Crowdfunding enables generous donors to support students directly, making a lasting impact.
✔ We ensure complete transparency in fund utilization by verifying all educational documents and fee structures.
✔ A small contribution from many people can change a student’s life, allowing them to complete their studies without financial stress.
Through this initiative, we have helped many aspiring doctors, civil servants, and professionals who now serve society in meaningful ways.
Impact of This Initiative
✅ Students complete their education without financial stress.
✅ Parents, especially in low-income families, get relief from the burden of tuition fees.
✅ Deserving students can focus on studies instead of worrying about money.
✅ Many students have gone on to achieve successful careers, uplifting their families and communities.
✅ An educated individual contributes to the nation’s progress, creating a ripple effect of positive change.
This initiative is not just about paying fees; it is about investing in the future of capable students who will contribute to society.
How You Can Help?
You can support a student’s education by:
✔ Sponsoring a student’s tuition fee for a month, term, or full academic year.
✔ Contributing to crowdfunding campaigns for higher education aspirants.
✔ Spreading awareness about this initiative so more deserving students can benefit.
A Beautiful Islamic Teaching on Knowledge and Education
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.” (Sahih Muslim 1631)
By supporting education, you are part of a lifelong charity (Sadaqah Jariyah) that benefits not just one individual but entire generations to come.
Join us in this mission to empower dreams, uplift lives, and build a knowledgeable and self-sufficient society. Your contribution today can shape a brighter tomorrow!
Access to proper medical care is a basic human right, yet thousands of underprivileged individuals struggle to afford hospital treatments, life-saving medicines, or even basic healthcare facilities. Recognizing this urgent need, Olive Trust has initiated multiple medical aid programs to provide free and subsidized healthcare services to those who cannot afford them.
Our medical aid program operates in three key areas, ensuring that no patient is left untreated due to financial constraints:
Medical emergencies often bring heavy financial burdens for poor families, especially when treatment involves:
Expensive surgeries
Critical care hospitalizations
Costly long-term medications (e.g., cancer, kidney disease, diabetes)
Many patients in dire need of immediate treatment cannot proceed due to a lack of funds. To address this, Olive Trust provides financial assistance for:
Prioritizing Charitable and Government Hospitals
To maximize impact and help more patients, we prioritize covering medical bills at charitable and government hospitals. These hospitals offer treatments at significantly lower costs, allowing our funds to assist a larger number of patients. Additionally, by supporting these institutions, we contribute to their ability to continue serving the underprivileged with affordable healthcare.
Each case is carefully verified, and funds are disbursed transparently to ensure that the most deserving patients receive assistance.
For daily minor illnesses, many underprivileged people cannot afford doctor consultations or medicines. To provide accessible and free healthcare, we with a great help and support from LATIWALA CHARITABLE FOUNDATION, operate three fully functional medical dispensaries in:
MHADA Malwani
Charkop
Jogeshwari
Each clinic runs in two shifts daily, providing:
Completely free checkups by qualified and registered doctors.
Free medicines for common illnesses such as fever, infections, allergies, and minor injuries.
Treatment for an average of 300 patients daily, reducing the burden on government hospitals.
These dispensaries have become a lifeline for low-income communities, ensuring that common illnesses are treated on time, preventing serious health complications.
Impact of These Free Medical Dispensaries
Thousands of people receive quality medical care without financial stress.
Early diagnosis and treatment prevent diseases from worsening.
Patients avoid overcrowded government hospitals for minor ailments.
Long-term relief for chronic patients who need continuous medication.
Our goal is to expand these dispensaries further, making healthcare accessible to even more people in need.
Many critical patients suffer from respiratory illnesses that require continuous oxygen support. However, oxygen cylinders, concentrators, and BiPAP machines are expensive and beyond the reach of many.
How This Initiative Started
During the COVID-19 pandemic, when oxygen supply was scarce, Olive Trust stepped in to provide oxygen cylinders and concentrators to patients struggling to breathe. This initiative saved numerous lives at a time when hospitals were overwhelmed and oxygen was unavailable.
Ongoing Oxygen Support Program
Even after the pandemic, respiratory diseases like asthma, lung infections, and post-COVID complications continue to affect many. We provide:
Oxygen cylinders for patients needing temporary breathing support.
Oxygen concentrators for patients requiring continuous oxygen therapy.
BiPAP machines for those with severe respiratory conditions.
By offering these life-saving devices to those in need, we ensure that no patient suffers due to lack of medical resources.
Future Plans – Expanding Our Medical Services
We are committed to expanding our medical aid initiatives to provide even better healthcare facilities to the underprivileged. Our future plans include:
More Free Medical Dispensaries – Expanding the number of clinics to reach more communities.
Dialysis Centers – Setting up free dialysis centers for kidney patients who cannot afford expensive treatments.
A Well-Equipped Charitable Hospital – Aiming to establish a fully functional hospital providing affordable or free treatment for the poor.
With your support and contributions, we can make quality healthcare accessible to thousands more.
How You Can Help?
You can be a part of this life-saving mission by:
Sponsoring hospital treatments or medicines for needy patients.
Supporting the expansion of our free medical dispensaries.
Donating oxygen support equipment to help critical patients.
Contributing towards our future hospital and dialysis center projects.

Empowering women is not just about providing financial support—it’s about creating opportunities for them to stand on their own feet, earn with dignity, and contribute to their families and society. Many underprivileged women, especially widows, single mothers, and those from low-income backgrounds, struggle to find sustainable sources of income.
To uplift and empower such women, Olive Trust provides them with motorized sewing machines, enabling them to develop their skills, start their own tailoring businesses, and achieve financial independence.
How This Initiative Transforms Lives?
A sewing machine is not just a tool; it is a source of livelihood. Many women already possess basic sewing skills but lack the resources to buy a machine and start their own work. By providing them with modern motorized sewing machines, we:
✔ Enable them to earn a steady income by stitching clothes, uniforms, and household items.
✔ Give them an opportunity to work from home, allowing them to balance work and family responsibilities.
✔ Help them become self-reliant, reducing their dependency on financial aid or charity.
✔ Encourage them to build their confidence and financial literacy, opening doors to a better future.
This initiative not only supports individual women but also strengthens entire families, as their earnings help provide better nutrition, education, and healthcare for their children.
To ensure the right beneficiaries receive this support, we follow a transparent selection and verification process:
✔ Priority is given to widows, single mothers, and women from poor backgrounds.
✔ Regular follow-ups ensure that they are utilizing the machine effectively and earning through it.
This initiative breaks the cycle of poverty and creates lasting change, ensuring that women never have to depend on anyone for their survival.
Future Plans – Expanding Women Empowerment
✔ More Sewing Machines – Expanding the program to reach more women in need.
✔ Advanced Skill Development – Providing training in embroidery, designing, and business management.
✔ Creating Women Entrepreneurs – Encouraging beneficiaries to hire and train others, building small tailoring businesses.
How You Can Contribute?
Your support can help a woman become financially independent and build a secure future for herself and her children.
✔ Sponsor a sewing machine for a woman in need.
✔ Fund skill development programs for aspiring tailors.
✔ Support the expansion of this initiative to help more women achieve self-reliance.
Islamic Perspective on Women’s Empowerment
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“The best wealth is that which a righteous person earns with his own hands and spends on himself, his family, and for good causes.” (Sunan Ibn Majah 2138)
By helping women earn with dignity and self-respect, we enable them to live honorable lives while contributing to their families and society.
Let’s join hands to empower, uplift, and transform lives—one sewing machine at a time!
Winters can be harsh, especially for the homeless, daily wage laborers, elderly, and underprivileged families who struggle to protect themselves from the cold. Without proper shelter and warm clothing, they become vulnerable to severe health issues such as hypothermia, pneumonia, and other respiratory diseases.
To ease their suffering and bring warmth in their lives, Olive Trust organizes an annual Blanket Distribution Drive, where we distribute 1,000 to 1,300 blankets every year to those in dire need. This initiative ensures that no one has to endure the freezing nights without basic protection.
For those who live on the streets, in slums, or in poorly insulated shelters, a single blanket can be a lifeline. Many people suffer immensely during winter. A warm blanket not only protects them from the cold but also prevents winter-related deaths and illnesses.
Impact of the Blanket Drive
✅ Thousands of people stay warm and protected from the extreme cold.
✅ Reduces the risk of cold-related deaths among the homeless.
✅ Helps underprivileged families save money that would otherwise be spent on buying winter essentials.
✅ Brings a sense of comfort, care, and dignity to those struggling to survive.
For many, receiving a blanket is not just about warmth—it is a sign that they are not forgotten, that someone cares for their well-being.
How You Can Help?
You can make a difference in someone’s life this winter.
✔ Donate blankets or funds to support the drive.
✔ Volunteer with us to distribute blankets directly to the needy.
✔ Spread awareness about the plight of the homeless during winters.
A Simple Act of Kindness Can Save a Life!
Islamic Perspective on Helping the Needy in Winter

Join us in this noble cause. Let’s spread warmth, one blanket at a time!
Many people in underprivileged communities struggle to afford even the most basic necessities—be it clothes, footwear, household items, or medical equipment. At the same time, numerous families and individuals have usable but unused items in their homes that they no longer need.

This initiative ensures that nothing goes to waste and that those who are struggling get access to items that can improve their daily lives.

By giving away items we no longer use, we share our blessings with those who have nothing. Even the smallest contribution—an old shirt, a pair of shoes, or a used wheelchair—can change someone’s life.
Let’s turn surplus into support, waste into welfare, and unused goods into valuable gifts for the needy!

Together, We Can Rebuild Lives, Restore Hope, and Make a Difference!
The COVID-19 pandemic was one of the most challenging crises in modern history. The strict lockdowns, loss of livelihoods, and shortage of medical resources left millions struggling for survival. During this critical period, Olive Trust and its dedicated volunteers stepped forward fearlessly, providing relief and saving countless lives.
Our efforts were carried out during both waves of the pandemic, where transportation was halted, businesses were shut down, and families were left helpless. With unwavering commitment, we reached those in desperate need, ensuring that no one suffered alone.
Massive Food Relief – Reaching Families in Need
The strict lockdown caused millions of daily wage workers to lose their earnings overnight. They had no means to buy food, and their families were left hungry. To address this crisis, we launched a large-scale emergency ration kit distribution drive, providing essential supplies to those struggling to survive.
✔ Thousands of families received emergency ration kits to sustain them during lockdown.
✔ The kits contained rice, wheat flour, lentils, oil, sugar, salt, and tea, ensuring basic nutrition.
✔ Special arrangements were made for families with infants, widows, single mothers, and elderly members.
✔ Our volunteers went door-to-door, ensuring that even those living in slums and remote areas were not left behind.
This initiative provided relief and hope to thousands of underprivileged families who had no means to sustain themselves.
Financial Assistance for House Rents – Preventing Evictions
With no income, many families were on the verge of losing their homes due to unpaid rents. We identified vulnerable families who were at risk of eviction and provided direct financial assistance to help them pay their rent and retain their shelter.
✔ Many families were saved from homelessness and given relief from financial distress.
✔ Widows, elderly, and disabled individuals were given priority support.
✔ We ensured that every penny was used for genuine cases through proper verification and transparency.
This support was crucial in preventing a second disaster of mass homelessness amid the pandemic.
Guidance & Assistance for COVID-19 Patients
As COVID-19 cases surged, many people struggled to find hospitals, medications, and proper treatment. Our team of volunteers worked tirelessly, helping patients navigate the overwhelmed healthcare system.
✔ Guided patients to hospitals where beds and oxygen were available.
✔ Assisted in medical checkups and arranged transport for critical patients.
✔ Provided emergency medicine kits to those in home isolation.
Our volunteers ensured that those suffering from COVID-19 received timely help and medical attention.
Oxygen Supply – The Biggest Lifeline

✔ Supplied oxygen cylinders and concentrators to those in home isolation and critical hospital patients.
✔ Worked day and night to refill cylinders and distribute them to the needy.
