By Bal Krishen in 'CSR & Sustainability'
To celebrate the spirit of women and grace the occasion of International Women's Day, 2021, Century Financial has supported the educational cause of women students of Al Noor Rehabilitation & Welfare Association for People of Determination with a charitable donation.
"It is said when you educate a woman, you educate the entire family," entrusting our beliefs in this, Century Financial has decided to not just support women but try and enrich the lives of women with special needs. The company, under the leadership of our chairman, treats this altruistic gesture as a privilege to contribute towards the upliftment of women with special needs.
"We are extremely delighted to play our small part in supporting the noble cause of educating and empowering these women of special needs, it's in line with our policy of supporting worthy causes. This initiative, on this day of International Women's day further emphasises our commitment to support and celebrate womanhood and gender equality," said Bal Krishen, chairman, Century Financial.
Under this unique initiative, the company plans to support part of the educational fee for three 18-year-old female students of Al Noor Rehabilitation & Welfare Association for People of Determination. The students belong to different nationalities, namely Emirati, Indian and Syrian.
Century Financial has been focused on women empowerment and was awarded as the Third Best Workplaces for Women by Great Place to Work in 2020. This only substantiates the fact that the company firmly believes in creating an enriching experience for this gender of the society both within the organisation and otherwise.
Speaking on the occasion, Ranjini Ramnath, director Al Noor Training Centre for Persons with Disabilities, added, "Their support is a big step towards empowering women of determination to achieve their highest potential and become contributing members of the community."
This gesture of donating a part of the education fee for these female students is its little contribution to this noble cause of training and developing these special people undertaken by Al Noor Rehabilitation & Welfare Association for People of Determination.
