Saathigram · Kathera village

Rooted in our communities.

Stone comes from the land, and so do we. For years, Fortune has worked alongside the people of Kathera village near our Chhatarpur operations. We invest in the schools, health, water and infrastructure that a strong community depends on.

We are actively funding and operating 25+ community initiatives across education, health, sanitation, water conservation and rural infrastructure.

Our programmes follow the UN Sustainable Development Goals, from Quality Education (SDG 4) and Good Health (SDG 3) to Clean Water & Sanitation (SDG 6). They are shaped with the community through regular village meetings rather than designed for it. We grow by building local partners, so the places we work in grow stronger with us.

Global goals

Aligned with the UN SDGs.

Our programmes in Kathera follow three of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
