Partnerships with Salaam Baalak Trust and Swayam Siddha Focus on Education and Accessibility
IIFL Home Finance has expanded its community development efforts through two CSR initiatives aimed at improving educational access for underserved children and enhancing mobility for persons with disabilities.
The affordable housing finance company has partnered with Salaam Baalak Trust to strengthen its flagship School on Wheels programme in Delhi. As part of the initiative, IIFL Home Finance handed over a fully equipped mobile education bus at the trust’s Tis Hazari Centre.
The air-conditioned bus is equipped with digital learning facilities and internet connectivity, enabling access to education, digital resources, and developmental support for children in underserved communities across East Delhi. The programme is expected to directly benefit more than 600 children and their families through improved educational opportunities and community outreach.
Mobile Learning Initiative for Vulnerable Children
The School on Wheels programme is designed to bring learning directly to children who may otherwise face barriers to accessing formal education. By integrating digital tools and internet-enabled learning, the initiative aims to create a more engaging and supportive educational environment.
The project aligns with IIFL Home Finance’s broader objective of supporting inclusive development through targeted interventions in education and community welfare.
Enhancing Mobility for Persons with Disabilities
In Mumbai, the company partnered with Swayam Siddha Industrial Co-operative Society for the Handicapped Ltd. to improve accessibility and mobility for persons with disabilities.
As part of the collaboration, IIFL Home Finance facilitated the launch of a wheelchair-accessible Tata Magic vehicle and two electric scooters at Swayam Siddha’s Rabale Centre in Navi Mumbai.
The vehicles will help beneficiaries access skill development centres, employment opportunities, and essential services, while supporting greater independence and inclusion.
Focus on Inclusive Community Development
Commenting on the initiatives, Aarti Marwaha Upadhyay, Chief Human Resource Officer, IIFL Home Finance, said that inclusion remains a core belief for the organization, emphasizing that access to education, mobility, and opportunities can significantly improve the lives of vulnerable individuals and communities.
The company noted that these initiatives reflect its ongoing commitment to creating sustainable social impact through partnerships with grassroots organizations. By focusing on education, accessibility, skill development, and community welfare, IIFL Home Finance aims to contribute to more inclusive and equitable development across the regions it serves.
Through its collaborations with Salaam Baalak Trust and Swayam Siddha, the company continues to support programs that empower underserved communities and promote long-term social progress.
