An ARCH is a curved symmetrical structure built to support the weight of a bridge, roof, or wall above it. We, at the ARCH Foundation provide the same support to design, build and maintain the bridge between a company's CSR goals to its realisation.
Success is a relative word which means different things to different people but one thing is for sure – there is no greater joy than living a life filled with dignity and opportunities. Social acceptance is a basic necessity of life and we, at ARCH, recognise this basic need and aspire to create a platform of synergy, sensitivity and mutual respect between the abled and differently -abled.
Curiosity starts with the itch to explore and make an inquiry. Children are naturally curious. They find joy in everything around them and love to know how things work.” Let’s explore” is an initiative by ARCH to fuel the curiosity of a child about his surrounding and help him capture it through the lens of a camera.
We, at ARCH, brought children from different socio-economic backgrounds and varying abilities to interact and learn from each other under one roof and show their passion for science.
In developed countries, skill based volunteering is fast becoming an ideal way to give back to the society. In fact, according to LinkedIn, in 2015, more than 4 million professionals registered with them showed strong interest in volunteering.

I’ve a firm believer in doing good. Every now and then I stop the car and feed biscuits to street mongrels. I dutifully pack the leftover food and give it to my building security. I donate old clothes to maids and used books to the library.
This is our deep-rooted belief at ARCH.
We have full faith in the abilities of differently-abled people and focus in developing social and technical skills in them in order to empower them to lead a normal life.
In 2016 we started work with the deaf and mute students of Smt. Kamlaben Badhir Vidyalya by installing the Mini Science Lab in their school consisting of 60 working models based on science and maths.
With a pro-active and go-getter mother, Amisha was provided basic education at home and encouragement to pursue MBA in Finance through a distance learning course. She was given all the support to stand on her two feet however her disabilities, a big concern for her over-protected parents, stopped her from venturing out of the comfort of her home.
Be different. Empower the differently-abled.
That’s exactly what E-Tech does! A BPO based out of Vadodara, E-Tech is one of ARCH’s clients in CSR volunteering. They invite the differently-abled participants from our skill building program to spend one day in their office.
Well, it’s easier said than done! To invite deaf adults and find a way to communicate and reach out to them is anything but easy. We deeply appreciate the employees and management at E-Tech for their time and effort.
