Fostering welfare of construction workers

Belonging to the ‘unorganised sector’, construction workers face a lot of problems like – inadequate and unequal wages, long working hours, poor housing facilities, lack of safety measures, etc. They also very often fall prey to violence, oppression and maltreatment.

Being into provisioning Housing Finance, Aavas feels responsible towards well-being of Construction Workers. Project Vishwakarma by Aavas Foundation is a project dedicated to work towards safety, security and well-being of construction workers and their families by providing on-site training for safety, educating about preventive measures at the construction sites and providing free safety gears.
