Beneficiaries being treated with state-of-the-art dialysis machines donated by ICICI Foundation
Convergence with Community
ICICI Foundation collaborates with multiple stakeholders to create lasting value for a sustainable tomorrow. It is increasingly focussed on strengthening partnerships with key stakeholders including government and non-government organisations, industries and communities to deliver tangible impact at scale. It identifies, designs and executes interventions that are aligned to priorities at the national and state levels.
Donation of over 100 state-of-the-art dialysis machines
ICICI Foundation has been increasingly participating in the healthcare sector to help augment the infrastructure at the grassroots level. As part of this, ICICI Foundation pledged to donate over 100 state-of-the-art dialysis machines to various hospitals. This initiative is aimed at providing affordable treatment to the less privileged across 60 districts in 14 states in the country. These machines, which come with a four-year warranty, will ensure that underserved patients across the country receive uninterrupted and quality access to dialysis services at nominal or no cost.
Skilling for prison inmates and juveniles
ICICI Foundation has partnered with the Department of Home Affairs to offer training in some of its courses such as ‘Refrigeration & AC Repair’, ‘Mushroom Farming’ and ‘Kitchen Garden’ to prison inmates. These programmes are aimed at helping beneficiaries get access to livelihood opportunities. To start with, these interventions were undertaken in Telangana and Uttar Pradesh. For instance, ICICI Foundation conducted a pilot programme for 25 beneficiaries at Chanchalguda prison in Hyderabad. In addition, ICICI Foundation partnered with the Department of Women and Child Development to undertake initiatives for inmates at juvenile homes. During fiscal 2021, the Foundation trained 19 juvenile inmates in ‘English Communication and Soft Skills Training’ in collaboration with the juvenile court in Pune. Significant positive behavioural changes have been observed in beneficiaries as a result of our intervention. Further, it trained 21 beneficiaries in ‘Cell Phone Repair & Service’ at the shelter home run by the Department in Lucknow.

Engagement with Alumni
In August 2020, ICICI Foundation launched a dedicated portal for its alumni to provide access to job postings from industry partners. The portal showcases success stories, and information on specific trades and/or locations to facilitate focussed interactions. The job section in the portal has been very helpful for the alumni who lost their jobs due to the lockdown. As on March 31, 2021, the portal had close to 58,800 registered alumni. It has hosted hosted several job postings and 30 online events.
