LHWRF - Enriching Lives, Empowering Livelihoods

Lupin Human Welfare & Research Foundation (LHWRF) is the social responsibility arm of Lupin Limited, founded by Dr. Desh Bandhu Gupta in 1988. In its journey spanning over three decades, the foundation has impacted more than 2.02 million beneficiaries across 5400 villages in 26 districts, spread across eight states in India. Throughout its journey, the foundation has primarily focused on creating sustainable livelihood opportunities and fostering economic growth in some of the most underdeveloped districts in India. It adopts a family-centered approach and initiates measures to help break the cycle of poverty, thus making a positive impact on the lives and livelihoods of the beneficiaries. The Livelihoods Program has been a critical and instrumental element of our development efforts for the last decade. With a drive to create a profound impact, the livelihoods program focuses on establishing sustainable solutions for the disadvantaged and vulnerable communities. Capacity building, natural resource management, livestock development, strengthening grassroots value chains, and improving farmers' market access are vital components of our Livelihoods strategy. The Lives Program focuses on enriching the quality of life within communities and ensuring better access to healthcare services. A strategic engagement aimed at strengthening health systems to address Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) stands as an irreplaceable building block of our Lives strategy.
