The Sachin Tendulkar Foundation was established in September 2018 by global cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar along with his wife, Dr. Anjali Tendulkar, a paediatrician and philanthropist. It provides a platform to connect people, institutions, and resources passionate about driving social change. The foundation strives to provide equal opportunities to children and create a better world for them.
Now, in this second chapter of my life after retirement, I feel a deep desire to give back to the place that has given me so much.
My goal is to create a better world for our children. The Sachin Tendulkar Foundation is a meaningful step in that direction. By working together, we can make a significant difference in children’s health, education, and sports. Let’s join forces to help our youth thrive and reach their full potential.

Sport does not differentiate once we enter the arena. It’s a level-playing field that allows everyone to flourish and prepares the individuals for various life skills. Sports as a leveller teaches us how to deal with success and failure.
The Sachin Tendulkar Foundation works with institutions and municipal hospitals that provide quality healthcare at affordable costs to underprivileged children. We focus on nutrition, preventative measures and work to improve access to healthcare for children.
If dreams do not discriminate, then why should we? Every child is important and should have the opportunity and the right to receive a good quality education. The Sachin Tendulkar Foundation aims to work with partners who help children who come from underprivileged sections of society, and help them chase their dreams.
