Dell scores points for CSR to help out HIV-affected kids

Dell India recently raised more than US$15,000 through its corporate social responsibility initiative Dell Champion Road Run for HIV-affected children.

KS Narahari, director, corporate communications, Dell, said: "As a responsible corporate organisation, we endeavour to contribute to society. At Dell, we have a community outreach programme called Hug (Helping U Grow) and all our activities are carried out under the Hug initiative. We reach out to under-served children, as we believe that it is our children who will take our country ahead in the future." Community outreach is a global initiative at Dell supported by its senior management. At Christmas, Dell also organises Dell Wishing Tree events at all its facilities. "Employees present Christmas gifts to under-privileged children of various NGOs," explained Narahari.
