Rakuten India CSR adopted the “Nammura Sarkari Unnatikarisida Government School” in RR Nagar that conducts classes from 1st – 8th grade, mostly catering to. With exams around the corner, the CSR team quickly arranged for basic stationaries, cupboards for classrooms, a printer and laptop for office use.

The CSR team collaborated with the NGO, Need based India (A foundation for Child Care and Development) to help the all-girls orphanage in Srirampura. This orphanage is managed at a Government school campus, where 6 rooms are given for the orphanage and houses 60-70 children aged between 5-15yrs (all girls). These girls get regular hygiene stationary that helps them stay clean and healthy. Additionally, employees of Rakuten India contributed towards the renovation and construction of a brand-new kitchen. This was a joint program where the employee contribution was matched by Rakuten India and a beautiful and cleaner kitchen was built.  The CSR team has helped not only fix their housing facilities but during the Joy of giving month, along with help from other Rakutenians, we were able to gift two new dresses for the children!

Rakuten India employees along with the CSR team collaborated with an NPO, Nightingales Medical Trust, that works on various need-based projects and programs for the well-being of Senior Citizens and persons with Dementia of all socio-economic groups. Employees of Rakuten India together sponsored apparels, meals and monetary support for the Senior Citizens as part of the Joy of Giving initiative in 2019.
