Arpana’s Differently abled Persons Organizations enabled 1,472 differently abled persons to improve their lives by enabling them to obtain certifications, set up small businesses, experience greater social inclusion and gain a sense of self worth.
Farmers Programs in Himachal Pradesh include two Farmers Producers Organizations (FPOs) which are collectively marketing the produce of over 400 farmer members for greater profits. The FPOs also started purchasing and marketing milk from their members, thus further increasing their income.
To the delight of farmers in six isolated hamlets, irrigation tanks were completed, thus enabling them to grow vegetable crops and exponentially improve their earnings.
In Arpana’s Education Centers in Molarbund and Vasant Vihar, New Delhi, when children could no longer attend school, tuition support classes were provided through WhatsApp + Zoom classes. With the support of generous donors, smartphones were gifted to students who had no access to one. The children enthusiastically embraced this new way of learning, determined not to let the pandemic destroy their future success.
The steady support and encouragement from individuals and organizations enables Arpana’s health and development services to reach out to over a million underprivileged rural folk in Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, as well as to those in slum resettlement colonies in New Delhi.
