Toyota Kirloskar Motor Employees Extend Support to Families Affected by Cyclone Fani in Odisha

Around 8000 families will be benefitted through the food kits, 150 solar lamps will be dispatched; nearly 32000 members will be benefitted through this initiative

In its continuous initiatives towards being at the forefront for supporting the society in addressing critical issues, a group of Toyota employees today gathered to put together ‘Emergency Relief Kits’ for families affected by the aftermath caused by Cyclone Fani earlier this month. This voluntary initiative amassed strong support for swift relief activities currently being undertaken by the authorities.

‘ICARE’ – an employee voluntary initiative is an effort in line with the company’s commitment to sustained community development. This drive actively involves the employees and aims to enhance their understanding on the increasing challenges that victims of such natural disaster face, thus call for priority actions to counter this scenario through a series of interactive programs.

This is Toyota’s seventh employee volunteerism initiative under ICARE that focuses on the theme of Social Contribution. Enthusiastic employees dedicated their personal day to assemble Emergency Relief Kits, packing more than 32,000 ready-to-eat meals, 150 solar lights along with other utility items that will help more than 150 families for the next six months.

As a project to promote proactive involvement of employee in the fields of community engagement covering various areas such as education, environment, health, etc., ICARE was inaugurated in 2017 with the launch of Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) and specialized health camps conducted in Ramanagara district in Karnataka. Under this initiative, Toyota and its employees painted the walls of the 140 year old government school, and staged a play at Garuda Mall to create environment awareness among the general public on current environmental issues such as Lake Restoration, Afforestation & Solid Waste Management.
