Indian businessman’s CSR initiatives help change lives of Congolese.
Mumbai: Harish Jagtani, a businessman and a philanthropist of
Indian origin, has been working determinedly to serve the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) through his CSR initiatives
and for creating a better life for them, especially for those from economically
weaker backgrounds. Mr.
Jagtani has been based in
Kinshasa, DRC, for over 20 years now.
Mr.
Jagtani began his business
venture in the DRC with Serve Air, which is the most-preferred cargo shipment
partner of the state and global NGOs, such as the UN and WHO, among others.
After this, Mr.
Jagtani launched Modern
Constructions and built some important buildings and commercial centres in
Kinshasa, besides HJ
Hospitals to bring quality
healthcare to the people of Congo with state-of-the-art infrastructure and
services. Most recently, the group partnered with such leading global brands as
Hilton Hotels and Resorts and Mercedes Benz.
FREE HEALTH AND EYE CARE
CAMPS
Following this, HJ Foundations started running
free healthcare camps for underprivileged people of the DRC, such as dialysis
camps, malaria camps and health checkup camps, to name a few. The camps have
also run vaccination drives, distributed prosthetic limbs free of charge to
persons who had lost their limbs—both war victims and the physically challenged
and brought about a life-changing experience for the people who benefited from
these initiatives.
COVID INITIATIVES
Mr. Jagtani’s
foundation has also run awareness drives during the Covid-19 pandemic and made
innumerable contributions, such as hosting free food campaigns for the security
personnel posted in Kinshasa and building community centre clinics to mention
just a few initiatives.
