October 7, 2009, Bangalore: Wipro Cares, Wipro initiative for disaster rehabilitation will undertake deep rehabilitation work in multiple communities in the flood affected areas of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

Wipro Cares will provide sustained and long term support to the affected communities. “We will identify the communities to work with, understand their needs and strive to fulfill the same,” said Laxman Badiga, Chief Information officer, Wipro. “We would soon visit the affected areas in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh to understand the need of the community before finalizing the projects”, he added.

Wiproites are on a drive to contribute towards floor relief and rehabilitation work. Employee contribution amounts will be equally matched by Wipro. Wiproites will also volunteer their expertise and time to engage in rehabilitation work under this Wipro Cares initiative.

In Tamil Nadu, which was hit by the Tsunami in 2004, Wipro Cares was engaged in broad based rehabilitation work in the entire village of Pushpavanam. As a part of this work, houses were built in Naluvedapaty village, residential schools at Sikkal and Vedaranyam in Nagapattinam district, and livelihood interventions were also done.

In Bihar, which was hit by the floods an year ago in September 2008, Wipro is working with communities to provide ecologically sustainable house hold services such as solar lights and eco sanitation.

Wipro Cares is an initiative of Wiproites and Wipro to make a sustainable difference to the immediate community in the areas of education and health care and environment and disaster rehabilitation. Employees are encouraged to volunteer their time and efforts.
