Our Causes
At XPD, we believe that our journey becomes truly meaningful when we support one another. We are dedicated to making a real impact in the world. In a sea of important causes, we focus on a few key areas where we can create significant change. Currently, we stand firmly behind Literacy for the Girl Child and Cervical Cancer Awareness & Treatment. Meenakshi Sai, a trustee of the RR Trust, has dedicated many years to the fields of education, sports, health, and the empowerment of women and girls. She has been a tireless advocate for cervical cancer awareness, emphasizing the importance of vaccination as a crucial preventive measure. To date, the RR Trust has facilitated vaccinations for 300+ girls from low-income backgrounds, where even a cost of Rs. 6,000 can be a significant financial burden. The Trust has provided comprehensive support by administering the vaccine three times over six months, ensuring these girls receive the care they need. In addition to vaccination efforts, Meenakshi has been organizing awareness talks on female hygiene and HPV prevention across schools, colleges, and women’s workplaces throughout Tamil Nadu. Over 15,000 girls have benefited from these sessions, and she aims to conduct at least 100 talks each year. In collaboration with the Rotary Club, XPD India & Beyond organized a drive from Coimbatore to London in 2017 to promote literacy in India, coinciding with the celebration of India’s Independence. Our 2019 XPD Beyond Asia drive took us along the Trans-Siberian Highway, where we spread awareness about cervical cancer and empowered countless women who are at risk. As we move forward, XPD India & Beyond remains steadfast in our commitment to spreading kindness and goodwill, leaving a positive mark wherever we go.
