== Vision ==

{{quote|The Deepak Foundation's vision is a world that is free of distress, disease, deprivation and exploitation. Our focus is the woman and the child: they are the vehicles through which the future can be determined and changed. |C.K. Mehta|''The Healing Touch - annual report 2008 - 2009''}}

# Promote practices for safe motherhood and child survival.
# Offer an access to health and pre-school education services.

== History ==

Caused by the people suffering from floods in ''Amreli'' District of [[Gujarat]] State in the year 1981, Shri C.K. Mehta decided to become socially active. He is the founder and today the chairman of the Deepak Foundation. The first initiative was a small 15-bed maternal and child care hospital to provide curative and preventive services for the industrial workers living around 30 villages surrounding the industrial belt of
''[[Nadesari]], Vadodara. The population of this area was 40,000. An Emergency Transport Facility was established in 1982. This service assisted government in delivering maternal and child care services in these 30 villages.

The foundation gradually made a foray into sectors like livelihood promoting by setting up first women's dairy cooperative societies and women's self-help groups, disaster relief and rehabilitation, [[Pre-school education|preschool education]], HIV prevention and adolescent health.

In the early nineties the foundation started to promote [[socio-economic development]] of the communities through Women's Savings, Credit groups and the first Women's Diary Cooperative in 1995.
Due to heavy influx of migrant workers in industrial belts, the foundation initiated [[HIV/AIDS]] prevention interventions in 1997.
Since 2004-2005 the Deepak Foundation is in partnership with the Department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Gujarat provides motherhood and child survival in the entire tribal area of [[Vadodara district]].
Today, the Organization has evolved into a full-fledged foundation covering all 1548 villages of [[Vadodara district]] in Gujarat. The interventions that initially catered to the needs of only the industrial workers for nearly twenty years today through its multifaced programs reaches out to nearly 2 million population spread over 1548 villages of [[Vadodara district]] to provide services in various development sectors through [[Public-private partnership|Public Private Partnership (PPP)]].<ref>http://healthmarketinnovations.org/program/deepak-foundation-gujarat {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726144458/http://healthmarketinnovations.org/program/deepak-foundation-gujarat |date=26 July 2011 }} Retrieved 4 February 2011</ref>
