Redington Foundation’s investment in digital infrastructure and literacy amongst rural communities unlock enormous potential for socio-economic progress. To minimize the rural vs urban digital divide and empower access, the Foundation partnered with Learning Links Foundation to implement the HP World on Wheels programme in Virudhunagar district of Tamil Nadu state. Our solar powered mobile digital lab travels to remote schools. It offers digital literacy programs that help students and communities with computer skills, safe internet practices, and builds confidence to access digital tools.

Considering the importance of art, we supported the Museum of Art & Photography (MAP) with digital and tech support. MAP aimed to upgrade its infrastructure to promote the accessibility of art. With our intervention, we helped digitise, scale image processing and 3D projection capabilities across Photography, Design, and Exhibition. This included hologram projectors, AI-based image, archiving, and training teams. This initiative helped MAP deliver a richer, culturally immersive experience to all its viewers online and offline.

Aimed at advancing environmental sustainability and inclusive development in the coastal urban landscape of Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The overarching objective is to restore ecological balance across rejuvenates urban tanks, afforests degraded lands, restores saline soils, and introduces sea-based climate-resilient livelihoods. while building adaptive capacity among vulnerable communities through community-driven, scientifically grounded, and climate-resilient interventions.

• 21000+ cubic meters of water harvesting capacity was created through three urban tank rejuvenation and spring-shed trenching.
• Afforestation of degraded lands (7.1 acres) using native saplings and moisture retention techniques, promoting carbon sequestration and urban cooling.
• Soil and landscape regeneration in saline and rocky terrains via bunding, trenching, and spring-shed revival, improving biomass productivity and reducing land degradation.

• Youth eco-literacy through the Eco-Stewards programme, training 170 slum adolescents in environmental leadership.
Public health-environment nexus addressed through a Primary Health and Climate Unit (PHCU) in a coastal slum.

Upon accessing development issues and concerns raised by Kani Tribal Community, interventions were implemented in Vellanad Block Panchayat, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.

• Renovated 5 ponds for conserving water for agriculture. Establishing 3 drinking water wells for community increasing 8,63,975 liters of water storage.
• Protected 15 acres of farmland for 21 marginal farmers with solar fencing, safeguarding crops from wild animal attacks and improving productivity.
• Installed solar infrastructure: 30 streetlights and solar home lights for 135 Kani families in remote villages with limited electricity access.

The state’s unique geography, with no perennial rivers and 73% of its area on hard rock—has caused severe groundwater scarcity. In Ramanathapuram, 47% of blocks are over-exploited and 3% face saline intrusion. In Thiruppulani Block, only 50% of households have tap water, forcing reliance on traditional rainwater harvesting that often yields unsafe drinking water. Women are disproportionately impacted, spending significant time collecting water.

• Implemented strategic interventions in two villages by linking target ooranis to water treatment systems.
• Fenced one oorani to protect against encroachments, solid waste, and livestock contamination.
Installed water treatment systems connected to 4 newly constructed mini GLSRs with inline chlorinators, enhancing storage, treatment, and distribution.
• Reduced the burden on women and girls who previously spent long hours fetching water, freeing time for education, livelihood, and productive activities.
Households are now saving money previously spent on purchasing water due to reliable access within the village.

• Built comprehensive rooftop Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) systems coupled with drinking water treatment installed across three government schools.
• Installation of UV filters for drinking water purposes, benefitting a total of 750+ pupils and staff. 4200+ villagers including students benefited.

It has been initiated in Nalirpam village, Barpeta district, Assam—a community affected by annual floods that submerge agricultural land for nearly two months. Being a low-lying area near the river, the village faces recurring challenges in agriculture, drinking water, and related issues, particularly during May and June. Farmers here primarily grow crops during the Rabi and summer seasons.

• Installed 12 raised handpumps to ensure water security during floods.
• Provided 100 arsenic removal water filters to enable access to clean drinking water.
• Renovated 3 farm ponds for water harvesting to reduce water stress in summer.
• Set up 34 solar streetlights to improve mobility and address electricity cuts during floods.
• 1800+ individuals benefited.

This included a Doppler scanner to assess blood flow, detect blockages, monitor fetal health, and diagnose vascular conditions; an anaesthesia workstation to deliver controlled anaesthesia, monitor vital signs, and ensure patient safety during surgeries; and a hand X-ray machine to detect bone-related signs of tuberculosis, enabling early diagnosis and effective treatment.

By providing the essential equipment support, Redington CSR aims to bridge divides and elevate healthcare standards for all. Advanced Life Support Mannequins are used for hands-on CPR, airway management, and emergency response training in healthcare simulation center.

The Mobile Healthcare Units (MHU) was staffed with a doctor, pharmacist, and social worker. By offering MHUs in partnership with local NGOs, we were able to make an impact and offer villages direct access to healthcare. These units provided consultations, medicines, and basic healthcare solutions to the rural population.

• 1,00,000+ health care treatments extended to patients for regular health checkups.
