Our initiatives focus on addressing essential needs for children in rural and government schools lacking access to basic amenities and contributing to the sustainable preservation of our natural spaces. Further, we have had a few associate-driven programs, such as donation drives to support orphanages or old-age homes. While reflecting on our collective journey through these initiatives, it is heartening to acknowledge the wonderful experiences we shared and the positive impact we have made together. Moving forward, we aspire to enhance the involvement of our associates in these programs as we persist in advancing these impactful initiatives.
About 37 miles from the city of Bangalore, in Kalapura village, a school hosts about 80 students from Grade 1 to 7, catering to five villages, two feeder schools, and one Anganwadi childcare center. The school building had only one functional classroom out of the original six and lacked the necessary facilities for conducive education, We built two new classrooms, along with facilities such as blackboards, lights, and fans to ensure children could learn in a clean, safe place. We provided reusable water bottles for the children to use.
In 2022, our team joined the mission to enhance the depleting ground water levels in & around Bengaluru by conserving rainwater. We decided to do our bit of share by digging of percolation pits to ensure water security envisioning Bengaluru, a sustainable city by optimal conservation and use of nature-given rainwater. Hence, Availity in collaboration with our CSR Partners United Way constructed 37 pits in M N Krishna Rao Park in Basavanagudi area, Which was inaugurated on 30th May 2022.
Access to clean Water is a large issue today, especially amongst the lower half of the society with increased risk of health issues due to unsafe & untreated water. Availity donated water purifiers to 16 government schools in Bangalore that aimed to benefit 5500+ school children & staff. This donation directly contributed to 2030 Agenda of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 of Clean water and Sanitation.
Availity organized school nag and stationary kit distribution at six government school at Rachenahalli cluster, Bangalore. The beneficiaries were from low-income families with about 1000+ students. Items distributed were bags, long notebooks, pens, pencils, and geometry box.
