Tribal Homes In Bhomale Village
Nestled in the hillock, 90 km away from Pune, away from the range of mobile phones, tribes living in Bhomale village was dreaming of a new house for the last three years. Now their dreams have turned into reality with Relfor Foundation. The foundation undertook the responsibility of completing their much-awaited houses and helped them in living a proper civic life.
Relfor Foundation was happy to undertake this house building project for these Katkari Tribal people as they are still a victim of backwardness. They lack in overall development because of their location in the jungles. Neither do they have the proper education nor lands for cultivating to live a standard life. These tribal people were living in houses made of raw charcoal, grass and wood. Increasing globalization and industrialization has forced this society to live the life of nomads.
Three years ago the people of this village started the construction of their houses with the help of the people from Katkari society, however, the construction was incomplete due to some technical shortcomings of the administration. So they continued living their lives in unusual habitats. Three years later, this became a news and was published in a local Marathi newspaper. Nitin Ghodke the CSR officer of the Relfor Foundation company, came across this article and he immediately went to this village and inquired about their problems. After a good understanding needs of the situation, this problem was highlighted to Mr. Deepak Nathani, CEO of Relfor Labs. As a kind and generous human being he understood the need of the situation and immediately sanctioned the fund for the completion of the houses.
The successful completion of the project has given immense pleasure to Relfor Foundation, as they were happy to be part of this noble cause. The project was highly appreciated not only by the tribes who got their houses, but also by the people from the nearby villages.
Relfor Foundation is eager to take many more such projects as they love to see the satisfied smiles on the faces after every such job.
