Green Shoots is an employee-driven volunteer program in Asia to support primary-age children in underprivileged rural areas. Launched by United Technologies in 2011, it encourages employees to donate time and goods to help create a better learning environment for underserved children. As part of Otis’ sponsorship, employees from Otis recently visited the SOS Children’s Villages to meet and interact with the children.

“We were very delighted to have volunteers from Otis visiting us,” said Ms. Anuja Bansal, secretary general, SOS Children’s Villages of India. “We appreciate the time and effort employees put into visiting our Villages and curating programs that help develop a bond with the children. It strengthens our resolve toward improving lives of once parentless and abandoned children under our care. This support gives us a big push towards empowering the SOS Children with quality education”.

About SOS Children’s Villages of India

With 51 years of committed care and service provided to parentless and underprivileged children, SOS Children’s Villages of India is one of the largest self-implementing NGOs with pan India presence across 32 projects in 22 states. It provides direct care to over 24,000 children. Established in 1964, SOS India is a non-government, non-profit, voluntary child care organization. It has since been involved in providing children in distress a ‘home-like’ environment with a loving mother, brothers and sisters, as well as a home and a community. The mission of the SOS Children’s Villages of India is to build families for children without parental care so that they grow up with love, respect & security. It is a well-known credible organization in India and the first NGO to get a CRISIL accreditation for strong delivery capability and high financial proficiency. It is one of the very few Indian NGOs which can give a 100% tax exemption under section 35 AC. In March 2016, SOS India was certified by TRACE, world’s leading anti-bribery standard setting organization, which demonstrates a commitment to commercial transparency.
