ISC also aids in learning enhancements for children from vulnerable communities. For the last 15 years, ISC has focused on the children of migrant labor groups living around the city of Pune, where Yardi\u2019s India office is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ISC will prioritize the following in the year to come:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Program quality benchmarking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Technologically enabled operations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collaborations and partnerships<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organizational performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real estate optimization and environmental sustainability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sustainability in fundraising<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have aligned and shared values with Yardi in terms of ensuring impact in the vulnerable communities through direct, consistent, and effective intervention, which need a continuous response to the changing environments, especially in learning and technology,\u201d said Medha Oka, executive director of ISC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yardi has been an ongoing supporter and advocate of the work of the India Sponsorship Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYardi\u2019s commitment towards the children from migrant and vulnerable communities is inspiring and admirable.

Almost 70 percent of the children frequently migrate with their families and don\u2019t get access to formal education. ISC focuses on bridge classes, protection from child labor and other child rights violations, and providing daily nutrition for all children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOf the 30 percent of children who can stay back in one brick kiln for longer, ISC successfully enrolled them in mainstream schools over the last eight years. Currently, over 140 children attend ISC learning centers; 46 among them attend primary and middle schools, while five attend high schools. These children are often first-generation schoolers breaking the cycle of generational illiteracy and exclusion,\u201d shared Oka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ISC supports its ongoing education through consistent support classes, innovative learning aids, and dedicated delivery teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The children\u2019s academic journey would not have seen this change without the changing attitudes of the parents, who have, over time and through consistent engagement with ISC, understood the positive impact of formal education. As a result, they are now an active supporter and participants in their children&#8217;s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nearby schools and local government bodies that once resisted school admission of these children due to biases and structural inequalities have now become advocates of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe at ISC have a unique journey for our beneficiaries where the child is supported from the age of six until they are able, capable, contributing and responsible citizens of the society,\u201d Oka said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Volunteering opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ISC has ongoing volunteer and employee engagement opportunities to work directly with children and provide skills to enhance program implementation.
