TrusteeEducation, Health, and Livelihood
Over the years YRF has focused towards Education, Health, and Livelihood by contributing educational grants and scholarships to students, financial grants to needy patients & hospitals as well as seed funds to poor women for strengthening livelihood.
As a response to the pandemic, YRF donated COVID-19 care equipment’s to Brother’s surgical for proper functioning of the COVID-19 care centres. We also supported many families to pay their children’s school/college fees as parent’s lost their jobs due to the impact of COVID-19.
Inclusive Village Development Program
This initiative is all about identifying the villages of rural India and working hand in hand with the village communities that includes men, women and children. Our approach is simple, we strengthen the existing education system, build the capacities of people, facilitate them with the government schemes and provide them a platform where they can prosper. We aim towards implementing the Swadeshi Model in the villages where we work to make them self –sufficient.
In the year 2021, we identified Anvir village, A tribal belt of Talasari Taluka of Palghar district in Maharashtra. Hardly 8 km away from the main city, Anvir has a lot of scope for development in all areas. With maximum rainfall in the region, they take only one crop for their own consumption. They are unable to store the water, tap the govt. schemes, and have rare awareness on the importance of education, pushing them towards a vicious poverty cycle that never ends.
YRF has designed missions and currently implementing the same based on the need analysis to make Anvir a model village.
