On August 02, 2024, the ARUYWE Foundation organized a significant awareness session on organ donation for the Women Self-Help Group (SHG) in Ramathandalam Village. In collaboration with the MOHAN Foundation, the event aimed to educate and empower the women of the village on the crucial subject of organ donation.

Empowering Communities: A Joint Initiative

The ARUYWE Foundation has always been at the forefront of promoting women empowerment, children's education, and skill development for both youth and women. This event was a step forward in expanding these efforts to include health awareness, specifically organ donation, in partnership with the MOHAN Foundation.

Event Highlights:

The SHG meeting began with a routine check of bookkeeping records, followed by a discussion on grey water management. Ms. Kamala and Ms. Jenifer Diana from ARUYWE Foundation led this discussion, educating the participants on the importance of water conservation and the effective use of soak pits.

The focus then shifted to organ donation, a topic of immense importance but often surrounded by misconceptions. Mr. Ganesh C, Marketing Coordinator from MOHAN Foundation, delivered an insightful session covering various aspects of organ donation:
