About Wipro Cares
Wipro Cares is an initiative by the Wiproites, their family members and friends to contribute in the areas of education, community and social development. Wipro Cares philosophy is to utilize the collective wisdom of volunteers to bring long term benefits and satisfaction to the community, as we believe that providing funds alone will not help the community.
Wipro Cares contributes through two pronged strategy: enhancing learning abilities of children from the under privileged sections of the society and providing rehabilitation to survivors of natural calamities.
Learning Enhancement:
Wipro Cares has initiated Learning Enhancement Programmes at schools catering to the children from the under privileged section of the society. The main objectives of this programme is to improve the standards of learning, build confidence, ignite curiosity, broaden their awareness levels, improve their communication skills in English , build a healthy self-esteem and help them break through self imposed limits to achieve his/her greatest potential.
In line with its focus, these programmes have been successfully implemented in Olcott Memorial School in Besantnagar, Chennai and Government Secondary School in Viveknagar, Bangalore. As we go along, we plan to roll this programme in several more schools and in other cities.
Disaster Rehabilitation:
Wipro cares has adapted Pushpavanam village in tsunami-ravaged belt of Tamil Nadu with a desire to rehabilitate survivors and rebuild the village.Wipro cares did it part in mobilizing the funds and set up a team to evaluate damage during cyclone in orissa and earthquake in Gujarat. The rehabilitation work was started after discussions with survivors and analyzing their needs.
This is a unique corporate experiment to channelise the contributions of the Wiproites matched by Wipro, and the desires of Wiproites to make meaningful contributions to society, on a continuous basis.
