Contributing to a better world

Corporate social responsibility is an official term for something that goes without saying for us: helping those who are in need. Because we support businesses and people with jobs and (IT)knowledge, we are able to help non-profit organizations.  

Bridge & 1 % Club

When we started to think about how our contribution to a better world should look like, we got to know the charity organisation 1% club, which is based in the Netherlands. The concept of this partnership is simple, you can donate 1% of your income for a charity purpose. But the speciality is that through a charity marketplace you are able to choose directly which charity or better which projects you want to support.       As we have also a company in India, we searched for a project in the South of India which is furthermore related to IT services. Here they educate yought in IT.

Bridge & Befriend

This initiative provides children in need of help with the chance for a better future, by realizing various charitable projects all over the world. We take an active part in a project, which supports a community in South India with the development of an IT educational centre for children. Due to the fact that we have a subsidiary in Kochi (Kerala, South India) by ourselves, we would be glad to employ perhaps one of these supported children in future.

Raksha Society

Raksha Society is an organization that provides various kinds of services for children with disabilities.  The Society has built up a handicraft section where the students can make different products that they sell later on like toys out of wood, sheets, candles and bags. Thereby they feel useful and they can earn money for the school and their selves.For Bridge they produce several gifts that we give to our Bridge Club partners; so even everyone of our clients supports indirectly this Society.

The kids, most of whom where found abandoned on the streets , fighting hunger are given a safe abode here.As the orphange is situated in an interior village , they often find it difficult to get sponsors. As part of bridge's quarterly social activity ,we provided clothes and chocolates for the children . We were delighted to have helped and place a smile on their faces.
