A Section 8 NGO in Ahmedabad working across every field of social development — education, health, skills, women's empowerment, environment, rural development and relief — and partnering with companies on CSR programmes that are measured, compliant and reported.
Who we are
Partnering with Scapex Foundation means working with a fully registered, professionally governed non-profit that treats every programme as a commitment to be measured rather than a story to be told. Incorporated in 2025 under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013 and registered under Sections 12A and 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the Foundation brings programme design, on-ground delivery and transparent reporting together under one accountable structure. Our directors carry personal statutory responsibility for the organisation's conduct, our accounts are audited and published, and every identifier we hold — CIN, NGO Darpan, 12A and 80G — can be verified independently on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and NITI Aayog portals.
We work across all fields of social development rather than a single cause, because the households we serve rarely face a single problem. A child who is behind in reading is usually part of a family that is also short of water, income and healthcare, and an intervention that addresses one need while ignoring the others rarely lasts. Scapex therefore operates as a multi-sector implementing organisation: education and literacy, healthcare and nutrition, vocational skills and employment, women's enterprise and self-help groups, child protection, elderly care, disability inclusion, environmental sustainability, water and sanitation, rural infrastructure, disaster preparedness and relief, animal welfare, and the promotion of arts, culture and sport.
For corporate partners this breadth translates into a single, dependable counterpart for the whole range of Schedule VII activities. Whether a company's CSR policy prioritises education in its plant catchment, health camps for a workforce community, skilling for local youth or restoration of a village water body, we design the project against the relevant Schedule VII head, agree a cost per outcome before the first tranche, and report utilisation every quarter with our statutory auditor's annual certification. Additionally, our partnerships team provides a named point of contact, site-visit access and timely documentation, making Scapex a preferred implementation partner for organisations seeking accountability, compliance and measurable results in Gujarat.

Flagship programmes
After-school learning centres running a teaching-at-the-right-level model, grouping children by what they can actually read and compute rather than by class.
Programme detail
Six-to-twelve week tracks in digital work, retail and repair trades, run to NSQF levels with employers involved from week one, not at the end.
Programme detail
Self-help groups with bookkeeping support, a revolving fund and buyer introductions — because household income is what keeps a girl enrolled.
Programme detail
School screening camps for vision, anaemia and growth, with referral tracked to closure rather than counted at the camp gate.
Programme detail
Village recharge structures, school WASH blocks and a green-jobs track in solar maintenance and waste segregation enterprise.
Programme detail
The work that rarely gets its own NGO: elderly day care, assistive devices and job placement for people with disabilities, disaster response, and street-animal welfare.
Programme detailEnvironment · Scapex Prakriti
Tree plantation drives, rainwater harvesting, solar energy and mangrove protection — built around Gujarat’s groundwater, its solar build-out and its long coastline, and measured by what is still working a year later rather than by what was launched.
Native saplings planted in plantation drives with schools and villages — including during Van Mahotsav — then counted again after the rains. Survival, not the number planted, is the figure we report.
Water conservation at village scale: check dams, farm ponds and village-pond desilting hold monsoon rain long enough for groundwater recharge. Every structure is checked for function twelve months after it is built.
Solar lights and rooftop systems fail when nobody nearby can maintain them. Our green-jobs track trains young people locally in solar maintenance, so the equipment keeps running.
Gujarat has the longest coastline of any Indian state. Mangroves along it shelter coastal villages from storms and saltwater; we plan community-led planting and protection in line with Forest Department programmes.
Animal welfare · Scapex Samaj
Community dogs, cattle and working animals are part of every neighbourhood and village we work in. Under Schedule VII item (iv), our animal welfare work covers stray dog sterilisation and anti-rabies dog vaccination drives, animal rescue support and cattle-care camps, delivered with veterinarians and organisations recognised by the Animal Welfare Board of India.
India’s Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023 set the humane method: community dogs are sterilised and vaccinated against rabies, then returned to the same locality rather than relocated. We support local bodies and recognised partners in carrying this out.
Every sterilisation prevents litters that would otherwise be born onto the street, where many puppies do not survive their first months. Vaccination protects the dogs and the families who live alongside them.
For households that depend on cows, buffaloes and goats, a sick animal is lost income. Camps run with veterinary partners cover vaccination, deworming and treatment, with advice on feed and care.
CSR & partnerships
Scapex partners with companies, foundations and institutions on CSR projects designed against Schedule VII, with local-area delivery in Gujarat, quarterly utilisation certificates and auditor-signed annual statements.
Project funding, implementation partnership, infrastructure, employee volunteering and matching grants — what each includes and the compliance position, stated plainly.
Section 135, the 2% rule, the full Schedule VII activity list, Form CSR-1, unspent-amount rules and penalties — in plain English, from the Act and the Rules.
Twenty-four areas of activity from literacy to disaster relief, each with what we deliver and the Schedule VII head it sits under.
Transparency
Scapex is a young organisation. We have no decade of impact numbers to point at, and we would rather say so than round one up. What we can publish from day one is the design: the baseline instrument, the sample, the cost per child, the board-approved 85% programme-spend floor, and the date the first endline lands.
