Partnership with Voya India: Nourishing Young Minds & Empowering Futures
Sri Sathya Sai Annapoorna Trust, in partnership with Voya India, continues its mission of combating classroom hunger and supporting child nutrition through the distribution of SaiSure Millet (Ragi) Multi Nutrient Health Mix. This initiative is integrated with the Government-sponsored milk program across schools in Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural, and Shimoga districts of Karnataka, benefiting 21,164 students across 199 schools between January and March 2026.
Employee Volunteering: Spreading Nutrition, Awareness & Joy
As part of its CSR initiatives, Voya India actively participated in employee volunteering programs organized by Sri Sathya Sai Annapoorna Trust across government schools in Bengaluru, creating meaningful engagement with children and communities.
Volunteering events were successfully conducted at GMPS Hebbala Government School and GHPS Hennur Government School (HBR Layout, Bengaluru) & GMPS Nagavara Government School in the month of February, with enthusiastic participation from Voya India employees and strong support from school staff.
Volunteers engaged warmly with students following the morning assembly and served SaiSure Fortified Ragi Drink, helping address morning hunger and enabling children to focus better in class. This initiative plays a vital role in supporting the overall health and well-being of students.
The team also distributed stationery kits to assist children in their academic preparation, especially ahead of examinations, bringing smiles and encouragement to young learners.
Awareness & Motivation Sessions
The volunteering initiatives also included interactive and educational sessions aimed at holistic development:
- Health Awareness: Sessions on the harmful effects of smoking and tobacco, encouraging students to make healthier lifestyle choices
- Cleanliness & Hygiene: Awareness on maintaining personal and environmental hygiene for better health
- Motivational Talks: Encouraging students to focus on education, work hard, and build meaningful careers while contributing positively to society
These sessions were well received by the students and added significant value beyond nutrition support.
A Meaningful Impact
The Voya India team displayed great enthusiasm and commitment throughout the events, making the initiatives impactful and memorable. Their engagement with the children reflected a deep sense of social responsibility and care.
Above all, the joy and gratitude of the students stood out, as they interacted with the volunteers and expressed heartfelt appreciation. Such moments highlight the true impact of collaborative efforts in nurturing healthier, happier, and more confident young minds.
Building a Healthier & Brighter Future Together
The partnership between Sri Sathya Sai Annapoorna Trust and Voya India exemplifies how collaborative efforts can create meaningful change at the grassroots level. By combining nutrition support with employee engagement, the initiative not only addresses immediate needs but also inspires long-term transformation in the lives of children.
Together, we continue working towards a future where no child studies on an empty stomach and every child has the opportunity to thrive.
