The Young Rathestars is a group of Parsis based in Dadar, Mumbai who reach out to the poor and needy Parsi Zoroastrian families by providing Educational Aid, Medical Aid, Financial Aid and distribution of grains and other household items in Mumbai, Pune and the interior villages of Gujarat.
For over two decades now, the Committee Members of Young Rathestars have been personally visiting the interior villages of Gujarat as a part of the Gujarat Poverty Relief Project. This year saw another successful Annual Food Distribution Camp by the noble team, comprising Arnavaz Mistry, Homiyar Doctor, Shiraz Guard, Aspi Elavia and Aspi Tantra, held from 21st to 23rd February, 2024.
