[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1579672236402","data":"There's an old adage that says 'give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day but teach him how to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life' and that is exactly what students affiliated to the CMRIT chapter of Street Cause did earlier this month. The 40-strong team decided to give a sustainable way of livelihood to women at Abhi Sai Datta Trust Orphanage by giving them sewing machines.<\/p>As to why they chose this way, Akshit Muppidi, the team leader of the women-empowerment team at Street Cause - CMRIT, says, \"We always felt that providing employment to 4 people for a lifetime is better than feeding 40 people for a few days. Moreover, the women empowerment team at Street Cause has always been striving hard to work along these lines so we decided to take it forward and that is why we got the idea to do this.\"<\/p>They chose this particular orphanage as it would also help the children there in addition to the ones who will directly be benefitted by it, as Akshit explains, \"The reason behind choosing this place was the fact that the income generated from the sewing machines would benefit the women as well as the young children present there. That orphanage has been struggling for funds, so we thought it is better if we enable them to make their own money.\"<\/p>They raised the required Rs. 19550 at a fund-raising event and then kickstarted this project. <\/p>\"We also had support from a few college faculty members and our director Dr. M. Janga Reddy and that is how we were able to form our college division of the organisation in the first place and after we formed, we had a fund-raising event where our team worked hard to raise the funds,\" shares Akshit, adding, \"The management at the orphanage has also been very supportive in us doing this.\"<\/p> <\/p>"}]
