Parinaam Foundation

Last month, we had Nikhila Kanakamedala from the Deloitte team visit one of Parinaam's communities, Veerabhadranagar as part of the M&E framework for the Livelihoods Development and Financial Inclusion for Women from Urban Poor Communities programme. Here are a few snippets from the day as Nikhila meets our beneficiaries, hearing firsthand about their inspiring journeys and experiences with the HSBC sponsored program! #monitoringandevaluation #deloitte #hsbc #livelihooddevelopment

The beautiful thing about working in the social sector are the inspiring stories of people we support — the ultra-poor — and their little victories in their grand march towards exiting poverty. Usually we share stories of their courage, endeavour and enterprise in our communication. But starting today, we also wish to share with you a new set of stories. Stories of the people behind the scenes, stories about people who support Parinaam and help us help the ultra-poor. In today's Goodhearts episode, we present you one of our longest standing partners, HSBC India. Our deepest thanks go to Aloka Majumdar -- MD, Global Head of Philanthropy at HSBC India, and the entire HSBC team for their unwavering support since 2013.

There’s always a group of wide-eyed, curious children at every school/public library waiting to get their hands on books. And there’s nothing like the joy of someone ensuring that these bookshelves are always stocked for them. On that note, we present someone very kind from Pratham Books, who makes sure these wonderful books reach children across schools in Bangalore. We heartily thank Ankura Ranade for taking up the wonderful initiative of distributing books and keeping the love for reading alive :)

Before joining Parinaam, Hanumathi and her husband worked as laborers, earning a modest income of Rs. 8,000 per month. With our team’s guidance, Hanumathi transitioned from labor work, where she earned ₹8,000 a month, to a fulfilling role as a housemaid, now earning ₹15,000 monthly. This change has brought significant improvements to their financial stability. Their son, Hanumesh, started his education at a government school, but with Parinaam's assistance, he gained admission to Kids Global Private School. His hard work paid off as he achieved an impressive 85% in his 10th grade and continued to excel, scoring 87% in PUC. Now in his first year of B.Com. at Lowery College, Hanumesh is on a promising path. Parinaam Foundation is proud to play a part in this transformative journey, helping families shape their futures for the better. If you believe in creating positive change, join us at Parinaam Foundation and be a part of this inspiring journey! #ParinaamFoundation #EmpoweringChange#TransformingLives #EducationMatters #LivelihoodSupport#BrightFutures #CommunityImpact

Physical spaces are uniquely political; how we occupy, build, and access them shapes lives—determining who gets educated, employed, fed and more. With that understanding—we at Parinaam are deeply committed to renovating neglected public spaces across India, enabling communities to benefit from and reclaim safe, well-designed infrastructure. We’re excited to share that our Chote Kadam project has made such a profound, far-reaching impact (274 projects across India so far), that we were able to make a big, beautiful book out of it!

Bharathi is frail. But don’t be fooled by that. She is tough as nails and even tougher when it comes to fighting for her daughter’s future. When she got married to Saravana and moved from Frazer Town to Koolinagar in Bangalore, they believed they could get along with his tiny toy business. But soon, tiny Shweta was born and both needs and aspirations changed. She got herself a sewing machine with support from Parinaam, sacrificed her income as a domestic help and took the plunge. And that, turned out to be one great plunge. Today Bharathi sends Shweta to a good school with her earnings. But Bharathi is not sitting back. She wants to set up a small shop so that she can attract and serve more customers. Because she wants to send Shweta to college. And she wants Shweta to go to the best. #EmpowerWomen #TailoringDreams #EducationForAll #WomenEntrepreneurs #ParinaamFoundation #SupportCommunities #CreatingOpportunities #UpliftingLives #TransformingFutures #WomenInBusiness #EmpowermentThroughSkills #BuildingDreams #JoinTheChange #CommunityImpact
