Eradication of poverty requires collaborative efforts and resources. If we consider India as a country with rich and varied heritage of giving, we could say the same about other countries too. In India especially, there are various kinds of dhan (donations). Shramdhanis giving labour, Annadhan is giving food and Vidhyadhan is giving knowledge. These were various ways available in the past. However, today and for the future, especially in the present context, there exists a need for various ways of giving. DHAN is working on promotion of a sharing culture among the poor communities with whom it is working, the general public both in India and abroad, and corporates through creating meaningful opportunities and partnerships. Walkathon organized by DHAN Foundation on the theme of Giving Forward is an effort towards nurturing the value of giving among the public.
This event targets the youth through the schools and colleges, to sensitize them on the cause. We find the student fraternity's support for this event to be amazing. School and College Students, Self Help Group Women members, Farmers and General Public will participate to express the solidarity for the cause of Green and Clean Environment.
