[email protected] www.ambujacementfoundation.org CREATING TRUE VALUE Responsible business organizations worldwide are adapting, modifying and transforming the ways in which they can create value for their stakeholders, and ensure sustainability. At ACF, our focus has been to empower communities to recognize their true value and work towards its fulfillment, while factoring in global economic and environmental challenges. Across our programmes in Water Resource Management, Agro and Skill-based Livelihood generation, Healthcare, Education and Womenʼs Empowerment, we have consistently followed a participatory approach. The approach has helped create inroads into the lives of the rural community, enabling them to identify issues, and evolve solutions. It has led them to take charge of transforming their own lives and empowered groups of farmers, youth and women to achieve their dreams and give back to the community as well. Our initiatives in water resource management led by empowered groups of Water User Associations (WUA) are working towards ensuring that water is accessible to every farmer in the area. The Roof Rain Water Harvesting Structures (RRWHS) have built access to safe drinking water, as well as brought relief to families by bringing water to the doorstep of many households across states. The effect of this initiative on the lives of women, children and the community itself has created a huge impact.
