Welcome!

You have reached the home of the Navin Desai Memorial Fund. This fund was founded in the memory of Navin Desai; a father, a friend, an inspiraton to us all. Before passing away in 2004, Navin returned from a visit to India vowing to dedicate his life to the cause of one Ram Ignole, founder of Amrapali Utkarsh Sangh, an non-profit organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of underprivileged families by providing safe-havens and education to their children.
On this site you will find additional information about Navin Desai, Ram Ignole and Amrapali Utkarsh Sangh. You will also find out how to make a tax deductible donation through the U.S. based Arpan Foundation, a 501(c) organization. There are many ways you can help and no gift is too small to make a difference. Please view our donations page for details.
In addition you will find articles posted by the family and friends of Navin Desai, and members, teachers and students of Amrapali Utkatsh Sangh. We hope you will find these stories and as inspirational as we do.
Thank you!
