@bmi trustProblem: What problem is this initiative trying to address?
BMI trust stands for all those who can't be seen heard or felt... Conditions in the remote areas with the Tribal communities are unimaginable ... Awareness about e basic amenities like Clean and safe water , nutritional food , good health and hygiene was a difficult task ... As this awareness was for the whole community and had to be vigorous and repetitive. "PAINT FOR A CAUSE "is our awareness program.... Where the whole village is involvedSolution Summary: What is the proposed solution? What do you see as its most promising aspects for creating shared value?
Awareness about a problem actually solves 50 % of the problem and remaining will be solved by the practice and promotion of the awreness programs. "PAINT FOR A CAUSE " involves and trains for the awareness amongs the villagers about the cause like Safe and clean water , nutritional food, good health and hygiene.Impact: What is the impact of the work to date?

In a humble effort I represent my BMI Trust ngo ( Ballerina Management Institute) from Pune, India. "Giving"is infectious .. Believe me it was just a drive with a adventure as I had absolutely nothing to do that day in 2006... After a royal drive in Mercedes about 50 kms from my home. Wanted to make my day special so walked in a small hut assuming that I can make some conversation with the underpreveledged and help them in my capacity. I was shocked to see it to be a school.. In worst shape with almost no roof, floor was bad no benches for the kids... Could not control tears which just rolled down with out taking my permission. There made a promise to myself that hence forth will dedicate my life to make such less fortunate .Where did you hear about the Nestlé Creating Shared Value Prize?
