India bears a substantial health burden, constituting 20% of the global disease load, with 27% of neonatal deaths and 21% of child fatalities. A staggering 88% of Indian women lack access to sanitary products, resorting to unhygienic alternatives. Barriers to healthcare impede both national and individual progress. Its healthcare initiatives focus on two vital aspects: fostering prevention and promoting awareness. The overarching objective is to ensure that healthcare and well-being are not only available but easily accessible and achievable, recognizing the pivotal role health plays in a nation's prosperity.

Adapting to the evolving situation, the Rubicon Foundation has expanded its operations to include a COVID-19 relief wing. Amidst widespread industry closures, India witnessed a sharp rise in unemployment, escalating from 5.27% in 2019 to 7.11% in 2020, as reported by the Centre for Economic Data and Analysis (CEDA). Sectors such as Entertainment, Hospitality, and Daily wage labourers bore the brunt of multiple lockdowns. The COVID-19 initiatives strategically reached out to these affected industries, providing crucial interim support. Emphasizing the importance of awareness and resource support, the foundation aims to combat the pandemic and aid those in need.

Mentoring embodies revisiting the inception of one's journey, fostering a profound connection between two individuals committed to mutual professional and personal growth. This dynamic relationship thrives on the exchange of anecdotes, offering guidance and coaching to navigate life's decisions, and sharing insights derived from lived experiences.
Conversely, training constitutes the facilitation of skill development to enhance competency and performance. Through comprehensive guidance, individuals refine communication, presentation, and life skills. The overarching aim is to foster empowerment by nurturing self-acceptance, confidence, and resilience. Targeting marginalized sectors, our focus extends to holistic development, ensuring enablement and empowerment within our community.
