98 We aim to be a reliable, long-term, and active partner to local communities. Accordingly, we focus our resources on a few critical projects where our engagement can make a significant difference. We do this by assessing the specific needs of each community that we choose to support - by undertaking structured surveys to evaluate the need for CSR support and projected impact and outcome. These factors influence how we choose our partners. We have partnered with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that display the same level of commitment as ours to better community health, well-being, and development. Our key partners include SAFA India, Healing Fields, LV Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI), and Care Foundation, among others. Consistent with the spirit and concept of collaboration and sustainability, we prefer to engage as an equal partner in the earliest possible stage of any project to optimize using the available resources by all stakeholders. Our experience shows that financial resources alone are not enough for success in a community project; rather, engagement and partnership play equally important roles. We draw support from our family of Saimers, who also engage actively in CSR programs, often going beyond monetary contribution by giving ‘in-kind’ or ‘time’ through Volunteering, Sai Mentorship Programs, and the Joy of Giving program, among others. The spirit and enthusiasm of our employees further drive us to better the communities around us. In the past, we have responded by matching the donations generated from the Joy of Giving Charity Drive to support various education, health, and well-being programs and ensure that we provide our employees with the necessary platforms to engage with local communities. Our focus is primarily on three areas - Education, Livelihood Development and Health. Education Promote the holistic development of children in schools and communities. Drive awareness in nutrition, health, sanitation, life skills and social issues. Livelihood Encourage financial independence of women and youth in local communities through skill and capacity building programs. Health Provide free health care access to the underprivileged with a focus on preventive care and diagnosis. ₹
