Setting Up The Vaidu Community

Aashray was a month-long collection drive led by the Rotaract Club of Bombay. We collected clothes, mattresses, pillows, blankets, and vessels etc. from all over the city.

We also tied up with the mattresses company, Wakefit. Wakefit had an internal collection drive within company as well as donated 15 brand new mattresses.

On August 29th, 2022, the club went for distribution of these items along with Rtn. Rhea Bhumgara, Rtn. Akhil Sanghi, Rtn. Ptn. Priyanka Jatia and members of RC Atlas who came in solidarity.

We visited the Jogeshwari settlement of the Vaidu tribe and distributed approximately 1300 clothing items and approximately 300 items which included blankets, bedsheets, pillows, utensils, tiffin boxes etc. These donations
served 1000+ families.

We would like to thank the Rotary Club of Bombay for giving us the opportunity to serve the Vaidu community by taking part in RCB’s Tribal Upliftment Programme.

We have many more things lined up for them and we are very excited.

Rotaract plays Pictionary with Vaidu women

Team Partners-In-Services of the Rotaract Club of Hinduja College organised ‘Never Too Old’, an initiative to educate the Vaidu women via the Adult Literacy Programme (project by RCB in association with TCS). Fun learning activities were planned. In Pictionary, women were given words which they had to draw and explain to others. The women learned words like fountain, firework, scenery, bittergourd, etc. The team also played antakshari to give our learners a break from their routine.
