Sources indicate that Sachin and Anjali Tendulkar laid the groundwork for this partnership when they met Bill Gates in Mumbai in 2023. Their shared passion for philanthropy and child health led to the formalization of the collaboration through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
The MoU outlines a joint effort to address key issues in healthcare, nutrition, education, and rural development, with a specific focus on children. The partnership leverages the expertise, resources, and local insights of both the STF and GF to achieve impactful outcomes across India, the sources stated.
Notably, Anjali and Sachin Tendulkar founded the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation in 2019. The foundation has been actively working to improve access to healthcare, education, and sports for underprivileged children. The foundation’s efforts have positively impacted over 100,000 lives, reflecting a commitment to empowering the next generation.
