Be the part of Power of ONE
SMCA Trust has launched a unique and powerful flagship program that aims to create platform for SMCA members and any interested individual to come forward, volunteer for social causes and contribute towards meaningful social work. The program is strongly footed on the belief that every small contribution by each can go a long way in making a significant impact in the society. It is the contribution by each individual that powers "Power of 1". Broadly, there are two primary ways in which an individual can become part of the Power of One initiative.
* One can choose to contribute a small amount of Rs. 1 per day towards the social initiatives of SMCA Trust.
* In keeping with the belief that each individual has the power to reach out to engage, inspire and make difference, SMCA Trust constantly seek to create avenues where one can volunteer some time to actually engage with the less privileged communities, understand their reality and the contribute towards enriching their lives in any way possible. Individuals are encouraged to devote just ONE hour, ONE day or ONE week or ONE year towards community service activities. One can choose to get associated with any causes of their choice which range across the thematic areas- education, health livelihood and environment.
