CHILDLINE
Our association with CHILDLINE has been cemented since the last 3 years and in 2010 again, we supported them by participating in ‘The Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon’. This event will help raise funds and ensure that children can look forward to a secure future. Sanofi runs that extra mile for CHILDLINE. CHILDLINE is – quite literally – a lifeline, a 24-hour, free helpline service, for children in distress. Operational in 67 cities in India, this project has entertained eight million calls since it was first instituted in 1996.
The AKANKSHA Foundation
It is a non-profit organization. Their mission is to improve the lives of illiterate children living in slums, helping them hone their skills to earn a steady livelihood and improve their standard of living.
We support their centre in Khar, a suburb of Mumbai. This local project offers the CSR Volunteer group an opportunity to engage themselves such as accompanying the children to educational centers, celebrating festivals with them, including them in the event held for employees’ children at Head Office and many other such programs.
The BANYAN
Our Company supports the cause undertaken by The BANYAN for rehabilitating homeless, mentally affected women. ‘The Banyan’ has responded to the needs of over 2000 women, rehabilitating them and restoring them to health. The institution’s major achievement is that it has helped reunite over 950 women with their families.
This year our affiliate will support the well-being of a few occupants of ‘The Banyan’ and also plan to donate medicines and hold workshops for them.
The SAMARITAN HELP MISSION (SHM)
The poor and illiterate inhabitants of the highly populated slum in Tikiapara are deprived of basic housing, health facilities and sanitation. Unable to even get basic medical facilities for minor ailments and common sickness, the children, women and old people in these slums are the worst affected. Our affiliate sponsored the development of a Medical Center that will greatly benefit the deprived slum community residing in Tikiapara, by working with THE SAMARITAN HELP MISSION (SHM) – a humanitarian educational institution based in the slums of Tikiapara, Howrah, West Bengal.
