My Clean City by HCLFoundation, is actively transforming Noida through its “Clean Oorja Project”. This initiative addresses the pressing issue of untreated cow dung at gaushalas, which poses significant health and environmental risks. To tackle this challenge, the project has established two biogas plants. The impact of the Clean Oorja Project is profound across three key areas : 1. It promotes community health by mitigating the dangers associated with untreated cow dung, thereby reducing the spread of diseases and enhancing environmental cleanliness. 2. The project provides substantial economic relief to local families living near gaushalas. By offering clean biogas free of charge, it alleviates the financial burden of purchasing costly cooking fuels like LPG cylinders. 3. The two biogas plants are jointly preventing GHG emissions of 250 to 300 tonnes per annum. A potential threat to water pollution has also been averted. #HCLFoundation #BiogasPlants #MyCleanCity #CleanEnergy #CleanCooking

#PrideMonth - Meet Jaromia, a young girl who walks her chosen path! From a young age, she embraced the truth about herself and knew that she didn't quite belong in the box society tried to place her in. This difference brought challenges to her and those around her, including family and friends. Determined and ambitious, Jaromia found a beacon of hope in HCLFoundation’s project with Solidarity Foundation. There, she discovered a community that embraced her for who she truly was. She was provided valuable training in communication, computer skills, and building the confidence she needed to thrive. The past years have been transformative, offering Jaromia a safe space and a supportive network she deeply cherishes. Her recent job is a big step towards financial independence. Jaromia's story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and finding a community that empowers you to chase your dreams. #HCLFoundation #Financialndependence #Modelling #SocialImpact #CareerGrowth #SolidarityFoundation #PrideMonth

HCLFoundation's flagship rural development programme – Samuday, has been advancing sustainable agriculture in Hardoi. By installing 14 solar irrigation pumps, this initiative promotes eco-friendly practices by replacing polluting diesel pumps and reducing carbon emissions. The adoption of solar energy has significantly reduced diesel consumption, saving over 37,000 liters to date. This reduction has also prevented more than 100 tons of carbon emissions, contributing to the mitigation of climate change. The initiative has lowered operational expenses for farmers, cutting fuel, maintenance, and labor costs. By empowering farmers as decision-makers and champions of sustainability, the initiative ensures a greener future for all. #HCLFoundation #SamudaybyHCLFoundation #SustainableAgriculture #SolarPower #SolarPumps
