Capita’s commitment to helping the vulnerable and disadvantaged in the communities in which we work has been embraced by our business centres in Mumbai, India.

Mumbai's slums face a growing health threat from the exponential population growth in the city and the restricted availability of space. Staff at our Andheri office in Mumbai launched a partnership with ‘Handmaids of the Blessed Trinity’ – a home run by three Catholic nuns for children from single or separated parents, street children and orphans. The nuns also run a school in the same building, providing education for 270 slum children aged between 2 and 11.

Employees regularly volunteer their time at the home and have organised camps to provide healthcare for the children. Money raised by Capita staff has paid for doctors to carry out blood, eye, dental and skin tests, and also paid for prescriptions for those children who could not afford treatment.

The team are now working on a project to fund work on the school building in preparation for the monsoon season.

To date the project has been a great success, giving underprivileged children the chance to succeed in one of the most challenging cities in India whilst increasing awareness amongst our staff.
