BeeHyv is honoured to make a contribution to The Akshaya Patra Foundation (www.akshayapatra.org).

Akshayapatra provides nutritious mid-day meals to around 10 million under-privileged children a day as part of the mid-day meal school program, thus reducing drop-out rates in schools. This initiative is a great example of involvement of NGO's and private sector firms along with the government to bring about a positive change in society. It has got accolades from none less than the distinguished former President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and President Barack Obama of the US. The contribution made by BeeHyv will sponsor mid-day meals for 83 children for one year.

BeeHyv made a contribution to the Sahyog initiative of The Chehak Trust (sahyogchehak.org). The founders of BeeHyv know K. Sriram (SKD), one of the people managing Sahyog, from their college days. K. Sriram holds a B.Tech degree in Chemical Engineering from IIT Madras and a MBA from IIM Ahmedabad. He works full time for this cause.

Sahyog is a community based education and health initiative of the CHEHAK TRUST (reg.no E - 21112), which is registered under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950. Sahyog works in two slum areas of Mumbai, Jari Mari. Kurla and Dindoshi, Goregaon. Sahyog?s various activities are largely directed at improving the situation of healthcare and education in the community. Without attempting to duplicate existing efforts - both in the government and voluntary sector, Sahyog aims to improve access to these services, both by collaborating with existing organisations as well as increasing community awareness and mobilisation. The long-term objective of Sahyog is to create a secular, progressive and empowering space, which enables the development of a cadre of well-trained, socially committed young leaders.

BeeHyv's contribution is being utilised for renovation work (like building a toilet and replacing a ladder) in schools and other activities.
