More than 1,500 employee-volunteers from Ford in India spread across Chennai, Coimbatore, Sanand and Delhi, will unite and devote time to improving the quality of lives in the communities they are engaged with. With close to 31 projects, Ford Volunteer Corps in India will see representation from Ford India (Chennai & Sanand), and Ford’s Global Business Services (comprising of Ford Business Services Center and Ford Technology Services India). Being testament to the promise to ‘Go Further’, the teams will implement activities that address education, health, environment, women’s empowerment & humanitarian support.
