About DPK Charitable Foundation

Who are we and what do we do?

It is the foundation’s vision to provide the opportunity for education to as many deserving candidates as we can. Without education, we believe our world would shrink rather than expand the collective consciousness of all.

Dolly

Dolly comes from an ordinary background of Indian culture that emphasized hard work and loyalty to friends and family. Family travels exposed Dolly to the African culture at a young age, followed by a boarding school life in a convent school, run by nuns in India. She subsequently completed her medical education in India, before arriving to Texas. Her family and friends helped her achieve her dreams. She is a devout believer of service to family and others who may be in need.

Mr. James Prince

Mr. James Prince, who sadly moved on from this world in August 2021, was an attorney, a real estate developer and a very dear family friend of many years. He was also a source of inspiration for Dolly in helping set up her solo private medical practice office, frequently being called upon for real estate and legal advice, which he gave so unselfishly. He was one driving force behind Dolly’s success.

Piyush

Piyush grew up mostly in Africa, was able to complete his high school and go to college/medical school through the help of a wonderful, irreplaceable and very kind family (The Ranchhods). He also had financial help from a doctor in Lusaka, Zambia in the form of a repayable scholarship/loan, based on his academic performance. He would like to help others who may otherwise lose a valuable education

How We Work

Invite proven, highly motivated students, especially in last year of high school and first year of college who otherwise may lose the opportunity to complete education due to financial harship. After completion of education, we expect the beneficiaries to ‘give back’ by committing to support others in need and/or the foundation.
