Mr. Brijesh Dholakia
CEO's Message
“When I reflect on my journey from the halls of the United Nations to leading the Dholakia Foundation, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of purpose and gratitude. The road has been challenging, yes, but also profoundly rewarding. From COPs to the 2023 UN Water Conference, I have witnessed the transformative power of youth engagement in international policy-making. Working with various member states, industries, and youth from over 170 countries, we developed the Water and Climate Youth Development and Agenda. This document stands as proof of the capabilities and insights of young people worldwide, serving as a guide to address water and climate issues effectively.

However, my vision for the Dholakia Foundation goes beyond what I have accomplished in my career. Here, at the Dholakia Foundation, my goal is to create an organization that is a catalyst for change, driven by empathy, authenticity, and a deep connection to the communities we serve. Water is life, and it is a fundamental human right. Yet, millions around the world still lack access to clean and safe water. Our mission is to change this narrative, ensuring that every individual has access to this vital resource.

One of our most cherished projects is the restoration of the Saraswati River in Patan and Banaskantha. This isn't just about building infrastructure; it's about breathing life back into these communities. When we work on water conservation, climate resilience, and community development, we do it with the belief that real change comes from within. It starts with listening to the hopes and dreams of the people we serve and doing everything in our power to make those dreams a reality.”
