Chryso India Joins Hands With Habitat For Humanity India To Provide Housing Solutions For Tribal Families In Karjat

December, 2018

Chryso India – the technology leader in admixtures for construction materials – has partnered with Habitat for Humanity India to build homes for tribal families in Karjat (Raigad district, Maharahstra). Under the partnership, Chryso India will support Habitat India to build 13 homes and provide water wheels to 131 families. On 9th December 2018, 40 employees of Chryso India volunteered on a ‘Habitat for Humanity Build’ and contributed towards building a home for future homeowner Kavita Chimte. The ‘build’ saw bricklaying, building of walls and painting by the volunteers in partnership with Habitat India.

Rajiv Upadhyay, Managing director CHRYSO India: “I am very delighted to support for such a noble cause of offering a house to underprivileged families & empower the women to carry water safely & with ease. We truly believe in striving hard for betterment of humanity. Best wishes to the beneficiary of the house & may God bless them with lots of love, prosperity & happiness in their new house”.

“I thank all the volunteers who helped us build our house. Thanks to CHRYSO India and to Habitat India we will have roof over our head. Now I can look forward to a better future for my children”, said Kavita Chimte – the future Habitat homeowner from Chimtewadi, Karjat.

Rajan Samuel, Managing Director – Habitat for Humanity India said, “The sense of happiness and satisfaction on the faces of Kavita’s family was to be seen to be believed. We are thankful to Chryso India for partnering with us. This housing and water wheel project will provide a great opportunity for the tribal families in Karjat to build a better future for themselves.”

The ‘build’ is also part of Habitat’s annual youth campaign – Habitat Young Leaders Build that brings together youth across the country to support families in need of decent housing. In Habitat Young Leaders Build, young people volunteer and speak out for the need for decent homes as a way out of poverty and toward self-sustainability.
