Noida: As part of its ongoing social impact campaign ‘Rahat With ICCPL’, ICCPL Foundation visited the Chhanv Foundation in Noida, a safe, compassionate, and empowering space where acid attack survivors live, heal, learn, and rebuild their lives with dignity. The visit also included a stop at Café Sheroes, a vibrant initiative run by the survivors that offers them a platform to engage with society on their own terms.
The ICCPL Foundation team spent heartfelt time with the survivors at Chhanv Foundation, listening to their powerful stories, understanding their journeys, and witnessing the resilience and determination with which they move forward each day. The visit was filled with warmth, meaningful conversations, and a spirit of solidarity. To support their ongoing needs, the Foundation also donated blankets, groceries, and essential supplies.
“This wasn’t just a visit; it was a reminder of the extraordinary courage that lives among us,” said Ambika Saxena, CEO, ICCPL Foundation. “Through ‘Rahat With ICCPL’, we are focused on building real human connections. Spending time at Chhanv Foundation, where healing, growth, and empowerment come together- was deeply moving for all of us.”
The survivors at Chhanv Foundation are engaged in various developmental and skill-building activities, from continuing their education to training in areas like stitching, banking, and beauty services. It is a space where resilience is nurtured, and each day brings new steps toward self-reliance and emotional recovery.
This initiative is part of ICCPL Foundation’s broader commitment to serving marginalised communities at the grassroots level. Other key programmes include donation drives in underserved areas, free meal distribution across both urban and rural regions, observance of International Sign Language Day to promote inclusion, the Vivah Utsav initiative supporting weddings of economically weaker couples, and regular tree plantation drives for environmental sustainability.
ICCPL Foundation, the CSR arm of ICCPL Group, works across key sectors including child welfare, women’s empowerment, healthcare, and education. Its mission is to foster an equitable and inclusive society through consistent, community-driven action that uplifts those in need.
