Initiative designs and constructs safe and sustainable housing units in economically disadvantaged areas. These homes are not merely shelters; they are vibrant communities that foster a sense of belonging and provide access to essential amenities such as clean water; and sanitation facilities.
Our teams on the ground in India work closely with local communities to identify families in dire need
of housing assistance. Through a rigorous vetting process, they ensure that the homes go to those who need them the most, including single-parent households, elderly individuals, and families with children. This targeted approach maximises the initiatives impact and creates lasting positive change. Through the team’s tireless efforts to build homes
for the underprivileged we have not only provided shelter but also restored hope and instilled a sense of belonging in the lives of countless individuals.
FOOD SECURITY
Feeding 125,000 people in a single day is the mission of Westlake Wishes Programme by Vaculug. Vaculug named this programme in honour of their partnership with Westlake Tyres who they have exclusively represented in the UK for decades. 125,00 people
is more than can fill a stadium like Wembley or the Camp Nou in Barcelona.
This may seem like an impossible task, but this is the goal set by Vaculug and its Westlake Wishes initiative. A small step to alleviate hunger and to provide a wholesome meal for those who must live day to day without a regular supply of nourishment.
In the holy city of Amritsar, chefs prepare a four- course meal – itself a demanding and logistical operation- to ensure that everyone is properly fed in the limited time available.
Poverty remains a real problem despite India’s continued economic growth and it’s important that Vaculug helps lead the way in not only providing sustenance for those in need but also in bringing such issues to attention of a wide audience who may want to join us in tackling widespread global hunger. In support of SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), since 2018 we have contributed to alleviating hunger in our surrounding communities.
This is the heart of Sustainability in Motion.
WE MAKE A LIVING BY WHAT WE GET. WE MAKE A LIFE BY WHAT WE GIVE.
