A Legacy of Giving
CHARITABLE TRUST
Established in 1998, the Jetha Devi Charitable Trust was founded by the late Jethanand Tulsidas and his children following the passing of his wife, Sundri Devi. Motivated by a noble desire to serve society, the trust received a valuable property along with accumulated charitable funds. Since its inception, the Trust has actively engaged in uplifting the lives of individuals and communities.
The Trust provides financial aid for education expenses to underprivileged families, supports staff members with SC & HSC fees and sponsors medical procedures for both staff and the public, especially during prolonged hospital waiting times or for medical care abroad. Additionally, it assists staff members with creche fees and contributes to various places of worship during festivities.
The Jetha Devi Charitable Trust remains committed to advancing the philanthropic vision of its founder, ensuring a sustained and meaningful contribution to society.

SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVE
In collaboration with the Central Electrical Board, we recently launched a significant Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative to address environmental challenges in our community. Our pioneering photovoltaic project is part of the Mauritius Solar Development and Green Initiative (MSDG) and aims to promote renewable energy sources and curb carbon emissions by fostering the widespread adoption of solar power.
This initiative aligns with our commitment to corporate sustainability and supports the government’s vision for a greener Mauritius. Our solar panel system, consisting of 61 photovoltaic modules, has generated an average of 45,529 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy within the span of a year. On a monthly basis, our solar production typically ranges between 3,200 kWh and 4,600 kWh.
THE GIFT OF LIFE: BLOOD DONATION
At our core, we are committed to making a positive impact on the world around us. Aligned with our values of compassion and community service, we understand the significance of blood donation in saving lives and aiding those in need.
We are an integral part of the local community that we are privileged to serve. Blood donation allows us to extend our support beyond our daily business operations. Through this act, we directly enhance the health and well-being of our community members, ensuring they receive vital transfusions when needed most. It is a tangible way to make a difference in critical times.

DONATION OF THERMOMETERS
Amidst the challenges brought about by the pandemic, our Group remained steadfast in upholding its social responsibilities. To support essential prevention efforts, we donated a substantial number of digital thermometers to 99 NGOs, Lions Club, special-aid schools and other social responsibility institutions.
At Jetha Tulsidas, altruism is ingrained in our ethos. We have been taught from our elders to extend a helping hand to those in need. This ethos permeates our family and corporate culture, with management actively instilling these values in Jetha Tulsidas employees. We take pride in our teams’ responsiveness to community needs.

GLOBAL RAINBOW FOUNDATION
Jetha Tulsidas and our team actively participated as co-sponsors in a charitable event organised under the aegis of the Global Rainbow Foundation. The event was hosted on 19 and 20 September 2020 at Flacq Retail Park, home to our store serving the East of Mauritius.
This two-day event was dedicated to enhancing the well-being of individuals with disabilities, encompassing both children and adults. Our goal was to create an enjoyable, fun and fulfilling experience, fostering a sense of belonging and dignity within the disabled community. By providing them with memorable moments and opportunities for self-expression, we aimed to instil a positive mindset and drive their motivation to further personal growth. Our team’s dedicated efforts to support this cause were immensely rewarding and underscored out commitment to inclusive initiatives.

ELDERLY DAY
Jetha Tulsidas management celebrated World Elderly Day on Saturday 1 October 2017. Together with approximately 100 staff members and three CSR beneficiary NGOs – SOS Poverty, Mouvement pour le Progrès de Roche Bois and Gayasingh Ashram –, we organised an Elderly Day at the Taher Bagh Swimming Pool Suite, Port Louis.
For this special and quite moving occasion, the venue was nicely decorated to welcome around 75 senior citizens aged between 65 and 85. Fun games adapted to their age group were organised under the supervision of a professional entertainment team and afternoon refreshments were served. The event culminated in a dinner, prize and gift distribution, and musical entertainment.
With a budget of approximately Rs200,000, Jetha Tulsidas ensured a memorable experience for all attendees. SOS Poverty provided transportation for the elderly guests. The event was a success for both organisers and participants, filled with joy and positive energy.

BYD VANS
We are committed to minimising our environmental impact and leading the way in sustainable operations. In 2022, we took a major step forward by converting our fleet to BYD Mini Vans, which are 100% electric. This transition not only supports our eco-friendly goals, but also delivers substantial cost savings.
Initially, we purchased four of these state-of-the-art electric vans and have already achieved a remarkable reduction in our carbon footprint. Buoyed by these positive results, we are thrilled to announce the expansion of our electric fleet with the addition of two more BYD Mini Vans in the near future.
Our investment in electric vehicles is a cornerstone of our broader sustainability and environmental responsibility strategy. We believe that every action counts and by embracing innovative solutions like electric transportation, we aim to contribute to a cleaner, greener future for our community and beyond.
