Our first mass donation, in collaboration with Impiger technologies, to a well-deserving organization called Women’s League Foundation (WFL). For their Skill development project, Ms. Divya, Founder and Director of WFL, had reached out to us and presented a brief, well-described presentation about their project, why it is crucial in certain locations, and the impact on the changes this project is going to make in the lives of many underprivileged children in those locations. We were clearly informed why they require gadgets and how the gadgets were going to be used. On the inauguration of Impiger Technologies’ new facility in Chennai, we donated 6 PCs along with all necessary components.
