Come together

to rebuild our fraternity by supporting our construction workers and migrant labour

Net proceeds from the Architects Connect Talk series 1 & 2 were contributed to Association for Promoting Social Action (APSA) and their COVID-19 relief fund for Construction Workers and daily wage labourers by Ethos. For Architects Connect 3.0 we are raising funds to support the migrant labourers at Village Soda, Rajasthan. Soda as many other villages, has been badly affected by the lockdown. However, it is one of India's most positive stories where 10 years ago, the villagers broke all barriers to elect a woman sarpanch, Chhavi Rajawat who was India's youngest sarpanch (at the time of her election) and one of our speakers at AC 3.0.
