OUTREACH
Akshaypatra Donation Centre
Southern Star AWWA Akshaypatra Donation Centre was commissioned at Maitri Shopping Complex, Pune on 27 Feb 2023. Items ranging from clothers and household items to rations are donated by the Army fraternity to Akshaypatra. To ensure optimal utilisation of donated items, Southern Star AWWA has partnered with the renowned NGO GOodwill India from Pune which distributes the donated item to the needy.
Orphanage 'Ghar'
Southern Star AWWA has been supporting Ghar, an Orphanage with a difference. It is the brainchild of Col Micky Oberoi (Retd) who found Sant Ishwar Foundation to run it. It is unique as it has three generations being nurtured under one roof; firstly the orphan girls, then the paraplegic ladies acting as parents and lastly the old age home members, the grand parents.
Support for Orphanages
Visits to various orphanages across the Command were organized as part of AWWA commemorative week.
