Shree Shakti Goenka Trust

Faith carried forward through service.

Shree Shakti Goenka Trust, alongside Goenka Kalyan Trust, connects the blessings of Shree Beera Dadi and Shree Barjee Dadi with practical service for the community.

Shree Shakti Goenka Trust

While the temple in Fatehpur, Rajasthan serves as a sacred place of worship, the trusts carry forward the blessings of the Kuldevi through acts of service and social reform.

Their work translates spiritual devotion into practical impact, especially in education, women's empowerment, healthcare, and humanitarian aid. Initiatives include school supplies for children, skill-building classes for women, medical camps, and annual blanket and sweater distribution drives across more than 100 villages.

By nurturing youth, empowering women, and serving the community, the trust builds a bridge between rich tradition and the needs of modern society.
