Posted on 08 Jan, 2013 02:41 PMAbout Hindustan Unilever Vitality Foundation
Hindustan Unilever Vitality Foundation has been set up as a not-for-profit entity by Hindustan Unilever Limited with the intent to make a difference in the domain of water, specifically to further “water for public good” in India. In the first phase of the programme, the primary deliverable was to create significant water conservation potential. To this end, HUVF has partnered with reputed NGOs, pursuing projects in more than 150 villages across India.
In the second phase of the programme, HUVF wishes to support NGO partners who along with communities can proactively contribute to systemic and policy level change at the macro-level using the experiences and learnings from the micro-level projects, while furthering their execution.
Accordingly, the key deliverables in the second phase of the programme, would be interpreting and delivering on certain “Principles of water” through micro-action and contributions arising from these actions to leading to systemic and policy change on water, apart from benefits from water conservation and the allied micro-level project impacts. Considering the water nexus with the social landscape, environment and food security, a mix of actions, in different ecosystems and in a diverse socio-economic milieu would be needed.
