    • School Support programme

      Description

      Provides high-quality education to low-income communities and financial support for teachers. Apple India has supported the Akanksha Foundation for their school support programme. It focuses on creating scalable models of quality schools for less fortunate communities. The model works within and beyond the classrooms to provide the children with a holistic learning experience.

      The three key components of the programme are:
      * Academic achievement: Focus on encouraging schools to use innovative teaching methods, curriculum, and proper technology for the student's learning experience.
      * Student well-being: Focus on the physical and mental well-being of the students using innovative programmes and co-curriculum activities to support the students.
      * Community engagement: Focus on integrating parents/community to be part of the school and the learning experience.

      An awareness-building campaign for 2500 persons and training for 1500 persons with visual impairment. Through digital empowerment, the campaign aims to transform
      persons with visual impairment into active citizens and nation-builders. It focuses on three key areas:
      * Awareness
      * Digital Literacy Training
      * Capacity Building of Resources and Partners

      The #SeeAMillion programme is not just a campaign. It's a movement. Designed to reach over 1 million individuals through awareness, capacity building, and digital literacy, its goal is to empower People with Disabilities with vision and transform them into active members of society and nation builders.

      A moderated Interactive Voice Response (IVR) rural social media platform for PwDs. It is a community engagement platform that works on a basic mobile phone where users can listen, record, and share relevant opportunities and information within the community. The platform reaches over 10000 PwDs across 11 states. Enable Vaani: A moderated Interactive Voice Response (IVR) rural social media platform for Persons with Disabilities. It is primarily a community engagement platform that functions without the internet. Hence, all callers in the platform can interact with it to post or listen to audio clips about their life experiences, access opportunities, and share advice and tips. The platform is currently available in 2 languages:
      * Hindi – Hamari Vaani (Our Voice)
      * Kannada – Namma Vaani (Our Voice)

      Changemakers: The Changemakers programme aims to build professionals to work in the space of livelihoods for PwDs’. The programme builds upon EnAble India’s existing Disability Professional Course; the organisation expanded and offered a fellowship that provided interested individuals both with and without disabilities the opportunity to gain competencies and build capacities to work to improve the livelihoods of persons with disabilities.

      In 2015, with Apple's support, Barefoot College International started evolving a complete EdTech solution for disconnected marginalised communities in off-grid, offline areas that can be sustainably scalable globally. These schools strive towards the holistic development of such children and enable them with advanced skills to make them job-ready for future markets.

    • ZFI India Needs Oxygen

      Description

      Aimed towards sourcing of oxygen equipment from vendors to help curb the shortage. The second wave hit India in 2021 and thus began one of the biggest challenges of providing medical oxygen to patients. With rising cases, there was a shortage of oxygen in hospitals for those with severe respiratory issues.

      Aimed towards sourcing of oxygen equipment from vendors to help curb the shortage.
      The vendor selection focused on:
      * Quality checks
      * Compliance to Indian standards
      * Delivery timelines

      Implementation was based on three key steps:
      * End-to-end management of campaign by Swasth NGO
      * Allocation of equipment prioritized based on need
      * Delivery efficiency with help of Delhivery and other partners

      Focused on maintenance of procedures and checks to ensure effectiveness. Verification was conducted based on:
      * Geo-tagged photographs
      * Receipt acknowledgment
      * Periodic check-in on utilization

      Establishment of a formal environment with the appropriate tools and health and safety measures in Uttar Pradesh for the dismantling and processing of electronic waste (“e-waste”) under Health & Safety Measures

    • Solar Programme

      Description

      The Solar programme is a flagship initiative by BCI which seeks to enable women from rural areas to become financially independent. The programme also incorporates measures to achieve environmental sustainability by training women to make solar products and sell it in their communities
      * By lighting up roughly 50 homes in their communities, the Solar Mamas have made a beneficial socioeconomic impact in their villages.
      * More than 88% of respondents said the programme met or surpassed their expectations and provided significant benefits.

      Mangrove Conservation is one of the most relevant and important initiatives that seeks to conserve the mangroves of Maharashtra through community-led conservation activities.
      During the community workshops, a beacon of hope emerged as we explored potential solutions related to mangroves. Representatives and leaders of the villages not only highlighted the harmful effects of climate change but also proposed exciting opportunities such as honey collection from mangrove forests and eco-tourism. These could potentially transform into sustainable livelihood options, bringing a wave of optimism.

      Biodiversity Surveys recorded the diversity in plants, birds, crabs, mammals, and a few
      unique species of mangrove snails. The team documented some 64 bird species, including 4 globally threatened bird species and new distribution records for three bird
      species.

      Improved cook stoves were distributed to households in the Koliwadi community in the Mothebhal village, which has reduced the extraction of wood for cooking while ensuring women’s safety and well-being. They have helped the fishing community increase their quantity of catch in crabs and other seafood during
      the night.
