With the Sugun Thomas Foundation (STF), Unifi helps promote education and career opportunities to talented children who do not have access to quality higher education or promising employment. Based out of Chennai, the foundation partners with corporate and government-aided schools to identify children based on a rigorous selection process before providing them with scholarships. Students are assigned their own mentor who gives them guidance not only on the academic aspects but also on the specifics to develop a strong personality, the right attitude and values. Thus, the mentor becomes a friend, philosopher and guide.

UNIFI has been planting trees on each client’s birthday with the involvement of native farmers and the SankalpTaru team, in the Kadiri region of Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh. This work not only improves our ecosystem but also empowers the farming community towards sustainable growth. Plantation and management require considerable planning and follow-up.
The plantation management process is stated below,

• Bulk plantation happens for each farmer in a single lot.
• Farmers are chosen based on their willingness to participate, the amount of land they own, water & electricity facilities.
• The saplings supplied are planted and maintained by the farmers. SankalpTaru team helps them with technical knowledge by organising camps.
• SankalpTaru team keeps track of newly planted trees for six months, post which farmers are entirely responsible.
• Variety of fruit trees including guava, pomegranate, papaya, lemon, mango and coconut are supplied to the farmers.
• Farmers can have intermittent crops until trees grow enough to bear fruits.
• Once trees yield fruits, farmers harvest the fruits and sell them in the local market for profit. There is no profit sharing with SankalpTaru organisation.
• A new dam on the Krishna river started operating in the region recently, aiming to expand the area under irrigation. Hence, more farmers are coming forward to participate in this program.
