The Tulsi Chanrai Foundation is a philanthropical Non-Governmental Organization with the vision to make access to primary health care, safe drinking water and eye care available to remote and disadvantaged Nigerian population.
The Foundation, which started operation in 1992 with a small beginning, has now grown to international level benefitting two million disadvantaged children and adults in Nigeria.
The CEO of the Foundation, Col G.R. Prasad, said the foundation has restored the vision of over 100,000 people, 1.5 million mothers and children’s wellbeing being secured and 1.9 million people ensured safe water.
In partnership with government agencies and other like minded organisations, TCF aims to make high quality sustainable and replicable models in primary health care, provision of safe drinking water and eye care in Nigeria.

The family has been engaged in manufacture and trade and has multiple commercial ventures in Nigeria. The Family is discharging their duty to the Nation through its philanthropic wing, Tulsi Chanrai Foundation, in Nigeria. “The Foundation provides much needed health care and safe drinking water to the rural poor across all geopolitical zones.
“It is part of our corporate social responsibility and services to the good people of Nigeria. It’s our own way of saying thank you for the long lasting relationship between the Nigeria and the founder of TCF, Mr. J. M. Chanrai.”
