Mr. William Zhao, Chief Operating Officer of Huawei India R&D Center, who was also present at the donation ceremony said “Huawei advocates community development and encourages its employees as well in contributing to the betterment of under-privileged children. We believe that sustainable development is possible only when organizations align their corporate goals to social developments of societies that they operate in.”
In line with the core values of Huawei globally, Huawei India has actively participated in the development of local communities. Since its inception in 1999, Huawei India has always been in the forefront, lending a helping hand during natural calamities, funding education of under-privileged children, and has been working with various NGOs across the country to support different causes. Huawei India has recently signed a MoU with Akshaya Patra Foundation in Bengaluru to support the organization with their mid-day Meal programme for over 15,000 children. The company will also support Akshaya Patra with food distribution vehicles and a kitchen upgrade programme.
