Dear Friends, What comes in our mind when we think about rural India? Poor people, gender discrimination, bad sanitation & hygiene, etc. For over three decades, Chinmaya Organisation for Rural Development has been working tirelessly to change the ground realities in rural India by empowering rural communities to take charge of their lives & become masters of their destiny. We call this the power of self-help. Every month, CORD impacts 60,000 individuals directly & 5.50 lakh indirectly. CORD Services include Disability Inclusion & Management, Livelihood Enhancement in Farm & Allied Sector * Non-Farm Sector,Social Justice through the Legal Cell Health Nutrition & Sanitation The second cause I am supporting is Education which we at Chinmaya Mission believe has the power to empower, elevate & transform lives. Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth (deemed to be university as per Indian government’s official categorization) offers globally accredited courses coupled with 21st century job skills & practical insights from Indian knowledge systems. Your contribution will go towards building a brand-new state-of-the art campus in Kerala! Your generous donations will also go towards providing scholarships for students most in need & towards improving school infrastructure – toilets, tables, computer labs – in our schools located in the most remote villages of India. To date more than one million students have graduated from our schools & gone on to become noble leaders & change-makers.
