New Delhi: Hero MotoCorp has partnered with the Navy Welfare and Wellness Association (NWWA) to support its community development initiatives.
As per a MoU signed between Hero MotoCorp and the NWWA, the company will support Chetna – an Early Intervention Center in Delhi that provides occupational therapy, speech therapy, play and counselling to children born with neuro-developmental disabilities.
The initiative, launched as part of the flagship ‘Hero Salutes Heroes of the Nation’ program under the Company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) platform ‘Hero We Care’, aims to support children in their learning needs, enabling them to progress through the early developmental stages, thereby enhancing their quality of life.
The support and therapies provided at Chetna helps in minimizing the impact of neuro-developmental disabilities through multi-modality interventions in children under six years of age. It also helps these children achieve their maximum potential and promote their integration into mainstream education.
At the MoU-signing ceremony, Kala Hari Kumar, President, NWWA, said, “We welcome the support extended by Hero MotoCorp for this special program. We are proud to be in partnership with ‘Hero Salutes Heroes of the Nation’ – a truly unique initiative of the Company. Children are our future and the Indian Navy and NWWA are deeply committed to their welfare. This project will help children with disabilities receive the support to learn, grow up and be a part of the mainstream education system. It makes a huge difference not only in the lives of the children but their parents who will learn how to care for and support the needs of their children.”
As part of the ‘Hero Salutes Heroes of the Nation’ program under its Hero We Care CSR initiative, the Company has already been partnering with the armed forces and paramilitary organizations – including the Directorate of Indian Army Veterans (DIAV), the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the Border Security Force (BSF) in the field of mobility solutions, livelihood and education.
