New Delhi: Huawei Technologies, a provider of next generation telecommunications network solutions has announced a new Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative in India. Huawei India has set a corpus, which will be used for various CSR activities in India. The activities are part of Huawei's global vision, 'to enrich life through communication'.
The first project launched under the initiative will support the education of differently- abled children with a sponsorship of 
10 lakhs. To extend its support towards providing employment skills to disabled children Huawei Technologies has presented a cheque of 10 lakhs to Deepalaya, a non-governmental organization (NGO) which is working on issues affecting the development of the urban and rural poor in India, with a special focus on children.
The project will run for three years and Huawei will support Deepalaya for the sustained development of differently-abled children. The project aims to create large-scale awareness about disability, its causes and prevention. It also helps prepare the children for a life of dignity to bring out their latent talents and creativity by providing them vocational training and personality and life skills training.
Max Yang, India CEO, Huawei Technologies said, "At Huawei we plan to undertake many CSR projects in India, and our association with Deepalaya is a significant one."
As part of the objectives of the projects Deepalaya plans to train 50 differently-abled children in the age group of 15-25 yrs from the target locations in the spheres of vocation, life skills, talent and personality development. Depending on the nature of the training they receive and the improved capacities and abilities of each trainee, they will be equipped for mainstreaming through job placements, self entrepreneurship programs and other efforts that can make them self reliant.
Candidates who successfully complete their training program will be placed suitably in various sectors through Deepalaya's Placement program.
