NAIK FAMILY FOUNDATION
Making Dreams Come True
The Naik family can trace its genealogy to multiple generations in South Gujarat. With strong community ties in Surat, Navsari, Valsad, and surrounding villages, the family considers South Gujarat it's home. Family members have gone on to achieve incredible academic, cultural and financial success across the world. Their success would not have been possible without the support and example provided by the family leaders Paragjibhai and Kusumben Naik.
Paragjibhai and Kusumben shared a passion for education and an infectious curiosity for learning until their final days. In their honor, in 2006, their children established the Paragji Naranji and Kusumben Paragji Charitable Foundation, also known as the Naik Family Foundation.
The Naik Family Foundation aims to eliminate financial barriers to higher education for those who demonstrate a similar passion for learning as Paragjibhai, Kusumben, and Prakashbhai.
The foundation also supports community improvement and healthcare activities and projects across South Gujarat. The Naik Family Foundation is committed to investing in the region over the next several decades as a way to honor the lives and celebrate the spirit of Paragjibhai, Kusumben, and Prakashbhai Naik.
