Bengaluru, January 21, 2026: Flipkart Foundation has partnered with SOS Children’s Villages India to strengthen health, personal care and overall well-being for children and youth living in family-based care settings. The initiative will be implemented across SOS Children’s Villages in Bengaluru, Delhi, Kolkata and Varanasi, with a focus on creating safe and nurturing environments that support children’s growth and development.
The programme will directly support 62 children and youth, including 38 girls, by providing access to essential services such as nutritious food, clothing, shelter, healthcare and medication. Alongside meeting everyday care needs, the initiative seeks to reinforce stability and routine, enabling children and young people to grow up in supportive, family-like settings.
With a strong emphasis on holistic development, children and youth will be encouraged to participate in activities such as yoga, sports and kitchen gardening. These activities are designed to support physical well-being, confidence and social engagement. In addition, regular age-appropriate sessions on life skills, emotional awareness, child rights and child protection will be conducted to help children build resilience and self-belief.
Recognising the critical role of caregivers in providing consistent and nurturing care, the programme also includes capacity-building measures. Regular workshops and refresher training sessions will be organised for caregivers on parenting approaches, childcare practices and nutrition. Counselling support will be extended to children, youth and SOS Mothers, along with the preparation of individual child development plans to ensure personalised support aligned with each child’s needs.
Puja Trisal, Director, Flipkart Foundation, said, “At Flipkart Foundation, we recognise that meaningful outcomes for children are shaped not just by access to services, but by the consistency, quality, and care embedded in everyday environments. Our partnership with SOS Children’s Villages India reflects our intent to support family-based care models that prioritise stability, emotional well-being, and holistic development. By strengthening these systems of care, we aim to enable children and youth to grow with confidence and build pathways toward independent, fulfilling lives.”
Mr. Sumanta Kar, CEO, SOS Children’s Villages India, said, “It is our endeavour to create nurturing, safe and secure environments for the holistic development of children under our care, so that each child gets the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential. We express our gratitude to Flipkart Foundation for their support to help children become self-reliant and contributing members of society.”
Through this collaboration, Flipkart Foundation and SOS Children’s Villages India reaffirm their shared commitment to community development by supporting care models that help children and youth grow into confident, independent individuals who can integrate meaningfully into society.
