The home also runs a school and takes care of more than 150 children with the aim of re-integrating them into society as independent and responsible citizens.

Airtel’s “Make Your Change” initiative is one of the Company’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives which provide a platform for its employees to identify challenges in their various communities and provide solutions to them.

It was built on the company’s strong determination to serve communities in which it operates.
