Guiding Indian Communities in Ontario Toward Hope and Opportunity

Together, we can bring hope to Indigenous Peoples

 Margdarshak is born from the belief that every journey needs a guide. For less privileged Indian families living in Ontario's island communities, Margdarshak becomes that guiding light — showing the way to food security, education, healthcare, and cultural belonging. Rooted in Indian values of Seva (selfless service) and Sangam (unity), while embracing Canada's inclusiveness, Margdarshak bridges two worlds with compassion.
