SOS families live together, forming a supportive village environment where
children enjoy a happy childhood.

simply manage the 6700 children who live in our children’s villages across
India, we are in need of support, not a one-time donation, but a sustained
support.

33. Why Collaborate with SOS
Partners in Corporate Social Responsibility
A socially responsible business model is of benefit to all concerned.
Together we can make it happen.
With the Companies Act 2013 having received the Presidential assent in
August 2013, the need to be reposing faith in an organization.
Our alliance with local and multinational corporations transforms the lives of
children in need of care and protection and a corporate partnership with us
sends a clear message of corporate social responsibility to a
company's employees, customers, shareholders and other stakeholders.

34.  Since its inception in 1964, SOS Children’s Villages of India has expanded
its programs for parentless or abandoned children at a rapid pace.
 Today it reaches out to over 24,000 children & their families, through 32 SOS
Children’s Villages, allied & community based projects like
Family Strengthening Programs, Schools, Vocational Training Centres, and a
Nursing School, spread across 22 states in India

35. Though the first phase of the implementation of the Companies Act has commenced
with 98 out of the 470 sections being put into action, one of the most crucial clauses,
clause number 135 or the 'CSR clause' as it is coming to be known focusses on the
targeted companies to spend on government delineated categories of CSR, as
mentioned in Schedule VII of the companies bill.
Some of these categories include eradicating extreme poverty and hunger,
promotion of education, empowering women and promoting gender equality,
employment enhancing vocational skills, and combating HIV, AIDS, Malaria and
other diseases, and improving maternal health and reducing child mortality and
so on.

36. For Us the money that we would invest in the lives of once parentless
and abandoned children, will not only give them a second opportunity
to grow in a caring environment, but also enable us to positively impact
the communities where we work.
Our company’s interests can be reflected in a
partnership in a multitude of ways.
