Community Development

We believe empowerment is a practical approach of sharing resources to make communities' self-sufficient, strong and responsible. The needs for each community are different. We encourage our volunteer teams to identify those needs and work along with the community to implement these initiatives. We work with communities and groups on diverse projects like construction of public toilets in the villages and installation of RO plants for providing potable drinking water. We actively participate in Swachh Bharat initiatives to clean the neighbourhood. We conduct skill based training programs for rural women that help them with means of livlihood. We have learnt that to help people and communities become self-reliant is the biggest gift we can give.

Empowerment through Training

Latha, 30, lives with her husband and 2 sons near Nolumbur. Her husband is a painter and is self employed only for about 15 days in a month. Income is unstable and there are times when they have to borrow money to run the household. Inspite of hardships, both of them are determined to provide their children with good education. She came to know of the Rane initiative run by our Nolumbur plant. Latha seized the opportunity and became a beneficiary of the program. She along with 40 ladies received a sewing machine each and a month's training in tailoring. Latha has transformed into an entrepreneur and has set up a small tailoring business of her own. She is supporting her family income and also employs 2 of her friends during the festive period to cope up with the surge in orders. Her positive thinking and broad smile is infectious.
