Our Commitment to being a deeply responsible company contributing positively to our communities and environment is so important to Four Soft. At Four Soft Ltd, we believe we should go beyond the basics of ethical business practices and embrace our responsibility to people and to the planet. We believe this brings sustained, collective value to our shareholders, our employees, our customers and society. We do it as a team with commitment to bring up a child's education and as a part of this Corporate Social Responsibility program we adopted a government school in the city. This was a step taken in partnership with Naandi foundation, a NGO working in the areas of health, education and livelihoods. The school adoption program was a part of Naandi's larger Support Our School program that encourages civil society participation to help government schools in various ways. The school was referred to as the 'school without the fourth wall'. We now are have supported them to receive education, meals and required stationery.
The team at Four Soft is making a continuous effort in supporting the various activities in the school that will help improve the standard of education in the school. Their interventions have already brought a ray of hope to the community, teachers and children of the school, that they have a helping hand. Apart from being involved in activities like celebrating Independence Day, taking children out on exposure trips, enhancing the quality of learning by providing school stationery and books, the volunteers from Four Soft Hyderabad are actively involved in spending quality time with the underprivile.
We are always working to reaching more people in need and have established an in house team by the name 4Smiles. This team works with high levels of commitment to create a hope and fulfill their dream to be a part of the developed society and be self sufficient to be competent with the progress people are making in today's world.
