#InspiringLeadership Meets #GrassrootsImpact: Over the course of three remarkable days, Ms. Robin Ann Abrams, the longest-serving board member of HCLTech, and chair of HCLTech Grant Jury - visited various HCLFoundation intervention sites under our flagship HCLTech Grant programme. Day 1: Udaipur, Rajasthan Ms. Abrams visited the Sambalam-Inclusive Education project, which supports children with visual impairments (CVI) by enhancing educational opportunities by means of inclusion into the mainstream education system(schools) and providing resources to both students and teachers. At Fateh Senior Secondary School, she witnessed the profound impact of our collaboration with the Royal Commonwealth Society for the Blind (Sightsavers India) - enabling CVIs with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) devices such as accessibility-enabled laptops. One standout moment was meeting Khushwant, a bright child who, despite multiple challenges and ailments, has thrived and how! The HCLTech Grant-supported intervention has improved his educational prospects, while also bringing hope and recognition to his family within their community. Day 2: Teerol Village, Gogunda Tehsil, Udaipur Immersing herself with the locals, Ms. Abrams explored the iCARE (informed Collaborative Action for Resilient Ecosystem) project by the Foundation For Ecological Security (FES). This project, a winner of the HCLTech Grant in the environment category, promotes conservation of commons by empowering communities to manage their natural resources sustainably. By fostering local self-governance at village-level institutions, the project enhances resilience and promotes sustainable management of land, water, and forests - thereby ensuring the long-term well-being of the environment and the community. Day 3: Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh Meeting project workers at IHAT (India Health Action Trust), Ms. Abrams learnt about Project MANCH, which aims to improve maternal, newborn, and child health outcomes in remote, tribal areas of the Shahdol district of MP. Since 2021, this project has been addressing gaps in healthcare delivery by increasing the availability, quality, and utilization of critical health services. Later, in Parwariya village, she engaged with the young minds of Project UDAAN, led by CRY (CRY - Child Rights and You). This project works to break gender stereotypes and promote girls' education, particularly within the Bedia community. The stories of two young women who transitioned from vulnerability to pursuing their education highlighted the transformative power of this project. Ms. Abrams also went on to meet with women's groups and ecosystem stakeholders to discuss livelihood opportunities and social security schemes that reinforce the community's socio-economic resilience.
