Our engagement with Khushboo Welfare Society has been an inspiring journey. Visits to their facilities and interactions with these remarkable children have been both humbling and uplifting, showcasing the incredible talents and determination within each individual.

Our Digitization Campaign underscores our dedication to financial empowerment. Since 2019, we’ve linked 100% of our workers to the banking system, facilitating transparent digital payments and financial independence.

At FA, we recognize that education is the foundation for societal progress and personal empowerment. Observing a significant gap where many of our workers struggled to afford quality education for their children despite their academic potential, we took decisive action. This challenge inspired the launch of the FA Child Scholarship Program, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at bridging financial barriers and unlocking opportunities for deserving young minds.

• Over 60 children have already benefitted, gaining access to quality education and brighter futures.

This initiative reflects our belief that investing in education is investing in society’s progress.

FA Home & Apparel truly lives by the principle : By its people, for its people, with its people.

For five consecutive years, FA Home & Apparel has been spreading warmth and compassion through its Spread the Warmth Campaign. This heartfelt initiative sees our team distributing blankets and shawls to those in need, particularly during the harsh winter months. By providing comfort and protection, we ensure that vulnerable communities experience care and humanity when they need it most. This tradition of generosity reflects our core values of empathy and social responsibility, reaffirming our commitment to uplifting lives beyond the workplace.

Innovation meets sustainability in our transformative project that turns discarded plastic bottles into vibrant planters. By giving plastic waste a new purpose, we celebrate creativity while addressing environmental challenges. These planters not only beautify spaces but also remind us of the power of small actions in creating sustainable solutions. This initiative symbolizes FA's dedication to fostering a greener future, inspiring our community to rethink waste and embrace eco-conscious living.

Compassion flows through the veins of FA Home & Apparel, as seen in our employee-led blood donation camps. Organized with heartfelt intent, these camps enable our workforce to contribute to saving lives. By fostering a spirit of giving, we not only reflect our core values but also strengthen our bond as a community united by care and humanity. This initiative highlights the generosity of Team FA and its commitment to making a difference, one drop at a time.

In a bid to reduce waste and spread love, FA Home & Apparel introduced the Pre-Loved Initiative. Employees are encouraged to donate gently used clothing throughout the year via a dedicated donation box. These pre-loved items find new homes in the community, giving them a second life while reducing environmental impact. This ongoing initiative not only promotes sustainability but also fosters a spirit of kindness and sharing within Team FA.

At FA Home & Apparel, even a simple cup of tea contributes to sustainability. Through our Tea Fertilizer Initiative, we turn discarded tea leaves into nutrient-rich fertilizers for our in-house plants. This practice reduces organic waste and enriches our greenery, creating a closed-loop system that aligns with our eco-conscious ethos. It’s a small but impactful step toward nurturing both the environment and a sustainable workplace.

Our commitment to green spaces goes beyond planting trees. Through our Replanting of Plants initiative, we ensure that every sapling thrives and grows. This involves ongoing care, from watering to monitoring, symbolizing our promise to nurture nature. By persisting in our efforts to sustain our green initiatives, FA Home & Apparel exemplifies its belief that environmental stewardship is a continuous responsibility, not a one-time act.

Recognizing the importance of sports in a child’s development, FA Home & Apparel extended its support to a government school lacking essential equipment. By providing sports gear and clothing, we gave children the opportunity to engage in organized games and learn vital life skills like teamwork and perseverance. This initiative brought joy to young faces and reflected our commitment to empowering future generations through holistic development.

Team FA took a collective step toward environmental responsibility through an E-Waste Recycling Initiative. Employees participated in a collection drive, gathering 40 kilograms of electronic waste that was sent to a certified recycling partner. Precious materials like copper, silver, gold, and palladium were recovered, showcasing the value of responsible disposal. This initiative not only decluttered spaces but also reinforced FA's dedication to sustainability and the circular economy.

FA Home & Apparel believes in lighting up lives, quite literally. Through a thoughtful act of social responsibility, we donated fans and LED lights to a government middle school, bringing comfort and illumination to classrooms. This simple yet impactful gesture reflects our ongoing commitment to community development and improving access to essential resources for all.

Through our collaboration with the Dream Girl Foundation, FA Home & Apparel brings creativity and hope to underprivileged children. Our engaging art and craft workshops empower young minds by fostering self-expression, building confidence, and teaching teamwork.
