Tata Volunteering Week 12

 

The twelfth edition of Tata Volunteering Week (TVW12) launched on 5th September 2019, successfully concluded on 7th October 2019. TVW12 offered a range of company-organized volunteering opportunities and witnessed the participation of senior leaders, colleagues, family members and retirees from across the globe who came together to join in the ‘Brands for Humanity’ campaign.

Over 3,000 volunteering activities were conducted by 56 Tata companies across 200+ locations in 13 countries, to support 450+ partners (non-profits, orphanages, local self-governments, schools, hospitals, villages and communities). A total of 1 lakh volunteers contributed their time, effort and expertise to causes ranging from planting mangrove seedlings on tidal mudflats, creating air cooling units out of recycled plastic bottles for schools to organising female voter awareness sessions in remote access villages.

This edition, India volunteers also joined in the Swachhata Hi Seva 2019 campaign to tackle the issue of single-use plastic, for which 45 Tata companies came together and conducted over 550 activities across India with more than 80,000 volunteers contributing over 2 lakh hours of Shramdaan resulting in a total of 3 lakh kilograms of plastic waste being collected and disposed.

A few glimpses of the kinds of volunteering activities undertaken by our volunteers through this period can also be seen in ‘The Daily Vibe’. Many more photos and testimonials from our volunteers are available at the Experience Hub and our Facebook page
