WHO WE ARE?
The Samast Connect Foundation (SCF) has its genesis in a closed room situated in Doha while some like-minded people were involved in a casual conversation on September 29, 2017. This simple yet highly motivated organisation came into existence instantaneously with strong urge to serve the society. Suddenly, the conversation took a remarkable turn and without any delay the thought captured everyone in the room that something exceptional has to be initiated so that rich and poor collectively contribute towards the constructive society, feeling proud and worth.
After the deliberations, Samast Connect Foundation came into existence, whose reins came in the hands of people who were committed to put their share in eliminating the difficulties and challenges of others. Majority of these are the ones whose economic and social status itself is not as per the established standards, yet they opted to serve those who are struggling for the basic needs.
It was decided that affordable amount of annual cash should be levied so that people from all strata of the society can easily be attached and the path of change could be realized.
The philosophy and methodology of the entire foundation is based on the rules of learning, incorporating and expanding with the passage of time. The Foundation has proposed to bring about change for society broadly in two areas: Education and Relief. The journey of SCF stepped further and consequently it has been registered in India on December 10, 2018. So far, SCF has successfully executed some relief related projects in few remote areas of India.

How we work?
SCF is committed to having transparency, integrity and accountability at all levels in its functions. All our decisions are taken democratically through deliberations following the span of control. Its functions are being taken care of by the six departments (Planning & Quality, Operations, Finance, IT, Members Welfare and Communication). Each department is represented by a team leader and other efficient team members. All departments are answerable to a Working Committee which is answerable to the General Body of the organization. All major decisions are always routed through the General Body. The Working Committee only facilitates day to day activities of SCF and implements the General Body’s decisions.
