In a bid to initiate its Women Build programs, HARMAN International (India) joined hands with renowned nonprofit organization Habitat for Humanity. Over 40 HARMAN India women employees came together in solidarity in an effort that is aimed at the elimination of poverty housing.
One of the objectives of Women’s Day being celebrated all over the world is to provide support for vulnerable women living in urban slums and empowering them with safe, decent and affordable homes. This ‘Women Build’ project initiated by Habitat for Humanity aims to achieve this in one of Bangalore’s peripheral slum resettlement colonies in Hegde Nagar, providing shelter and dignity to vulnerable women along with their families.
“HARMAN India is delighted to partner with Habitat for Humanity for their 'Women Build’ project. There is an overwhelming requirement to pay attention to women’s concerns in our country and this volunteering event addresses the primary issue of housing. I am happy that we are able to come together as strong, capable women of today, to do our bit to re-instill hope in our community.” said Vinita Srivastava - Director HR, HARMAN India.
“Women Build is a project wherein we create a bridge between those with the means to support with them that are in need. Habitat for Humanity looks beyond shelter to pave the way for the development of a community. We believe in transformation of communities through volunteering and this is one such initiative. When people come together to help each other, it always has an immensely positive effect. HARMAN has supported our efforts in rehabilitating victims of Uttarakhand and now, we have all women coming forward playing their part in construction of homes for the underserved. Our communities are overwhelmed with joy and gratitude to see the commitment of HARMAN to the society.” said Nirmala A., Regional, Head for partnership development, South India, Habitat for Humanity.
