Prominent women leaders from
different fields joined this initiative of building homes for underprivileged
women.
8 March, 2017: Under the campaign ‘WOMEN
BUILD India’ initiated by Habitat for Humanity India, international model
and Bollywood actress Evelyn Sharma participated in the house building
activity, along with other prominent women leaders from different fields.
Evelyn volunteered to build home of Changuna Sarai who lives in Sarai Wadi with
her family of ten members in Karjat, Maharashtra .
WOMEN BUILD India
is a part of Habitat’s Impact 50-50 strategy that aims to achieve
holistic community development with shelter and sanitation at its core. The
objective is to make ‘Housing for All’ and ‘Swachh Bharat
Abhiyan’ a reality by 2020.
By associating
herself with this initiative, Evelyn Sharma aims to spread awareness and raise
funds for the cause of decent shelter and improved sanitation for
underprivileged women in India .
Supporting the
cause by being present and actively taking part in the build activity were
Sheila Kripalani, Chairperson – Board of Trustees, Habitat for Humanity
India, Amy Sebes - Wife of Thomas Vajda (Consul General of U.S), Tanuja Mullick
- Wife of Summit Mullick (Chief Secretary of Maharashtra), Vanessa Ciarlatani
– wife of Mr Ugo Ciarlatani (Consul General of Italy) and many other
prominent women achievers.
Changuna Sarai
and her husband Suresh Sarai are agricultural labourers. With their meagre
daily wages, they both try to make ends meet. To add to her difficulties was
the lack of private space for her three daughters who are growing up.
Exhilarated with the development, Changuna
said “My husband, my daughters and myself; we live with our extended
family. We are ten members in all and live in this small house. This has
affected my daughter’s education as well. The new house is a
dream-come-true for our family. We don’t have to worry about a roof over
our daughter’s heads. They can focus on their studies and excel in the
fields of their choices. I am thankful to Habitat and to all the inspiring
women who came here today for giving us a hope and an opportunity to fulfil our
dream.”
Evelyn Sharma also met other families in the
village and interacted with them. Speaking about the campaign, she said,
“Every woman deserves a safe and decent place to live. Every mother needs
to know her children have a safe place to call home. I am glad that Changuna
will have a decent home. But it is tragic that even today majority of women in
India
are deprived of basic needs of a decent shelter or a safe sanitation unit.
‘Women Build India with Evelyn’ is my contribution to raise
awareness about the need for affordable housing and improved sanitation for the
women in need.”
Habitat for
Humanity’s WOMEN BUILD India
initiative calls upon women leaders and achievers to empower underprivileged
women and their families by rallying the cause of decent homes and safe
sanitation for all. Our Women Build events provide the opportunity for women to
take a proactive step in serving their communities. Women helping women sends a
positive and powerful message.
Rajan Samuel, Managing Director, Habitat for Humanity India, said,
“Though our neighborhoods are comprised largely of women and children,
they are most likely to be affected by poor living conditions. Habitat for
Humanity India under its Women Build India initiative is trying to ensure that
women in need have decent, safer places to live. I want to thank Evelyn for supporting
us in our mission of building a world where everyone has a decent place to
live. The responsibility is on each one of us, to do whatever we can, to show
that we care.”
