SHARING THEIR THOUGHTS

Our soldiers endanger their lives every single day so that we can dream, grow, and live without having to worry about safety and security. When a soldier is lost, what do we give in return? Is it enough to come together, light candles, and observe a minutes’ silence – or can we do more?

The first step to doing more in understanding the needs of our veer naris. Like their husbands, they have sacrificed their lives and love for our country. In their time of need, we at VRFA feel the strong urge to stand by them, offer a helping hand, and a shoulder to lean on. Our programs are more than “reaching out”, they are about building – from ground up – strong, independent, self-sustaining lives that each and every one of us deserve to live. And standing with them every step of the way.

We, at VRFA, are building a community.

Take a look at our video to know more about who we are, what we do, and how you can help.

WHY VASANTHARATNA?

A veer nari is so much more than just a martyr’s wife. She does not deserve our pity. She deserves to live a full life, discover her true potential, and make the lives of her loved ones brighter. She can stand independently and fearlessly, and also help others like her do the same.

At the Vasantharatna Foundation for Arts, our mission is to empower the wives of our country’s martyrs through education and the arts by helping them discover their true potential and giving them the necessary skills and support to achieve their goals.

To make this a reality, we have identified several ways to do this:

• Provide family counselling and legal support.
• Offer education and training opportunities for the women and children
• Assist is securing government and defence aided support for the families
• To increase public awareness of the sacrifices of soldiers and their families
