Happy Raksha Bandhan!!
Since you may not be able to see your brothers & sisters in person this year, we wanted to give you the opportunity to help protect ALL of your brothers and sisters against the spread of COVID-19 through our Masks of HOPE campaign.
This initiative, designed to inspire health, opportunity, perseverance and empowerment will enable us to continue employing rural women to make hand-sewn masks from their homes and freely distribute them in their communities.

We are proud to have partnered with companies like Petronet LNG, Gram Panchayat and Gulbrandson to employ women in rural India to create cotton masks for their employees through our Masks of HOPE program! And through Petronet LNG Limited ‘s CSR initiative, we were able to freely distribute masks to the vegetable and fruit vendors in the Bharuch District, helping to keep both vendors and shoppers protected against COVID-19.
Reach out to us via DM if you’re interested in having custom masks made for your company, helping to provide employment for more women in rural communities, while also fighting the spread of the Coronavirus.

For the last decade, hygiene training has been an important component of our health and education projects. Through our health camps, school, and vocational training, we inform children and women about the importance of WASH, preventive care, vaccinations and general hygiene in order to increase awareness of health-related matters in rural communities. Over 25k villagers have been served by these services to date, and we will continue educating rural populations on how to maintain their health and hygiene as soon as it is again safe to do so.
