A MESSAGE FROM THE TRUSTEES
When we embarked on this journey in 2004, we were focused on making a difference in the lives of one community residing in the urban informal settlements of Govind Puri, New Delhi. Little did we know that our passion, determination, and grit would lead us to impact the lives of over 3,12,092 individuals in various locations within Delhi NCR over the next 19 years. Numbers alone may serve as a benchmark of our commitment, but our story is one of unwavering dedication to succeed against all odds. Throughout our journey, we have placed our stakeholders at the very core of our programs, working hand in hand with the communities we serve at every step. The collaboration between Adharshila and our communities has been vital to our success. In the past year, we delved deeper into understanding the challenges faced by our communities and reevaluated the parameters of our impact. Our primary focus remains on supporting internal migrants, with a particular emphasis on empowering women beneficiaries. To achieve this, we have continued to strengthen our efforts in Education, Health, and Skilling – three vital pillars for sustainable change. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to all our stakeholders for their unwavering contribution and support throughout this journey. It is your collective dedication that has made our accomplishments possible. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the remarkable team at Adharshila, who have been instrumental in driving our mission forward. One of the most enduring aspects of our work has been the active participation of our community members and the mutual respect we share. As we look ahead, we are hopeful that we can count on your continued support as we strive to reach our goal of benefiting 5,00,000 individuals by the year 2030.
