Undaunted by the travails of a life full of strife, these women have demonstrated grit, determination, and enterprise in building & managing economic activities towards a healthy & happy livelihood for their families. It is, therefore, such an overwhelming thought for us at Muthoot Pappachan Group, to support the idea of these feisty women making Masks to help fight the pandemic. The Group has contributed to several other ways to have other organizations and individuals. However, #WomenBeTheChange is unique and serves a dual purpose in empowering women as well as, fighting the pandemic and we are so glad to be a humble part of the same”.
