The Foundation works with pre-school children
from socially deprived backgrounds. The
volunteers help unlock their creativity and
enable them to join the mainstream education
process. This year, over 600 children secured
admission to primary schools, through the
efforts of TIIF volunteers. These children might
have otherwise discontinued their schooling.
TIIF supports the Bangalore Kidney Foundation’s
(BKF) one-free-dialysis-a-day programme.
TIIF donated a dialysis machine to BKF. This
machine is used to treat patients with HIV/AIDS. This year, TIIF also sponsored
the Pt. Mallikarjun Mansur award presented during Dhwani – a Hindustani
Musical Program organized by BKF to raise funds for dialysis.
In order to foster the spirit of inquiry
and innovation, TIIF conducts the
annual Texas Instruments Science
and Technology Quiz for high school
students. We believe that this quiz
will encourage more students to
take up science as a career.
On the humanitarian front, TIIF
supports the RK Foundation. In addition, Blood Donation Camps are held
twice a year. Clothes and newspapers are collected regularly and donated to
needy organizations.
TIIF also invites NGOs to put up stalls in our campus to display and sell their wares.
