Founded in 1998, the Jetha Devi Charitable Trust was established by the late Jethanand Tulsidas and his children after the passing of his wife, Sundri. Driven by a noble intention to serve society, the trust received a valuable property on Royal Road along with accumulated charitable funds. Since its inception, the Trust has been actively involved in making a positive impact on the lives of individuals and the community.
It extends financial assistance for education expenses to underprivileged families, supports staff members with contributions towards their SC & HSC fees, sponsors medical operations for both staff and the public—particularly in cases of extended hospital waiting times or the need for medical care abroad. Additionally, the Trust provides financial aid for staff members' creche fees and contributes to various places of worship during festive occasions.
The Jetha Devi Charitable Trust remains dedicated to carrying forward the philanthropic vision of its founder, the late Jethanand Tulsidas, ensuring a sustained and meaningful contribution to society.

SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVE
We've recently launched a significant Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative to address environmental challenges in our community. Partnering with the Central Electrical Board Mauritius, we've implemented a pioneering photovoltaic project as part of the Mauritius Solar Development and Green Initiative (MSDG).
The primary goal of the MSDG scheme is to promote renewable energy sources and curb carbon emissions by fostering the widespread adoption of solar power. Through our CSR efforts, we've actively contributed to planning and executing this initiative, aligning our commitment to corporate sustainability with the government's vision for a greener Mauritius.
This initiative brings several advantages, including energy independence, environmental sustainability, cost savings, job creation, economic growth, and the diversification of the energy mix, all contributing to sustainable development.

THE GIFT OF LIFE: BLOOD DONATION
We believe in making a positive impact on the world around us. In line with our values of compassion and community service, we recognize the importance of blood donation as a powerful way to save lives and support those in need.
We have the privilege of serving and being an integral part of our local community. Blood donation provides us with an opportunity to extend our support beyond our daily business operations. By donating blood, we directly contribute to the health and well-being of our community members, ensuring that they receive the life-saving transfusions they require during critical times.

DONATION OF THERMOMETERS
The challenging situation triggered by the pandemic has certainly not been easy to manage but the Group has never been one to use difficulties as an excuse to cut down on its socially-responsible duties. We have donated a significant number of digital thermometers (an essential prevention tool currently) to no less than a total of 99 NGOs, social responsibility institutions such as Lions Club and to special-aid schools, among others.
The Jetha Tulsidas team has always gone to the frontline to help others. We have all been taught by our elders to give back to society be it by way of donations of food and clothing supplies to the less fortunate, to NGOs doing proven good work, among others. It is an integral part of our family and corporate culture. Management strives to instil same in Jetha Tulsidas employees and we are proud to note that our teams always show themselves to be very responsive.

GLOBAL RAINBOW FOUNDATION
On 19th and 20th September 2020, Jetha Tulsidas and team members took an active part, as co-sponsor, in a charity event organised under the aegis of Global Rainbow Foundation, with the collaboration of Flacq Retail Park - where we have our store serving the East of Mauritius. The purpose of this two-day event was to promote the welfare of disabled persons - both children and adults, in offering them a memorable, enjoyable, fun and fulfilling time. Taking a part in good times, in a manner that befits and is respectful of their capabilities and human dignity; to experience that they are an integral part of the community; to feel good about themselves, is essential for persons with disabilities to keep a positive mindset and outlook on life and to drive their motivation to overcome their specific constraints and aim further self-development. Such inclusive events are an essential feel-good factor in their life; and the efforts our team members put in to contribute to make it a success were well worth it.
GREEN INITIATIVE
Stainless steel bottle is our way to express our willing and concrete involvement towards creating a greener Mauritius, and to inspire you to go in that direction in your daily life. Each of these stainless steel bottles was offered as a give away to our customers. They bear motivational quotes as a reminder of the role each and everyone of us can play- through a simple choice such as minimising our use of plastic containers- to reduce use and waste.
Whilst quenching your thirst from this bottle, you are also quenching the thirst of your island, of our planet, for a plastic-free environment.
