Creating a safe environment for children

This program empowers children to become change agents for building resilience in their communities. Implemented by SEEDS India, Honeywell Safe Schools takes a comprehensive approach to school safety. It seeks to ensure that children go to school without fear, remain safe in school, and return home safely. This is a pioneering school safety program that brings a tailor-made approach to address the unique issues of each school or location involving structural assessment of each school by engineers and architects; evaluation of risk perception; and examination of preparedness in the face of any natural or manmade disaster.

Between 2017 and 2022, the program will reach 83,000 children, 90,000 parents, and 2,900 teachers in 150 government schools across Delhi and Uttarakhand states.

Clean water for a better future

In collaboration with Safe Water Network, we are building 180 safe water stations in areas that suffer groundwater contamination, including from fluorides.

These water systems are owned, operated, and maintained by local communities; use world-class multi-stage reverse osmosis treatment system to remove contaminants and dissolved solids; deploy cutting-edge remote monitoring systems and process rigor to minimize downtime to less than two percent; and ensure engagement at all levels of the targeted community for social, financial, and environmental sustainability.

Cumulatively, these water stations will provide safe water access to more than 540,000 people in Telangana and Maharashtra.

Promoting STEM education and building future women leaders

Implemented by Avasara Leadership Institute, Honeywell Centre for Advancing Girls in Science is a transformative science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) program for bright, young girls in middle and high school in Pune.

The program will empower 500 Avasara students with an experiential, project-based science curriculum. The program seeks to inculcate critical thinking and problem-solving mindsets among girls 11-18 years of age. Additionally, the center will support 12,000 students from government and low-budget schools across Pune through Young Scientist STEM camps.

The school block features classrooms, laboratories, and dormitories. It is built on sustainability principles such as passive heating and cooling, solar panels for off-grid power supply, waste and water recycling, and extensive use of fly ash bricks and recycled material.

The program aims to set the bar for girls’ education in the country through a rigorous academic curriculum combined with a strong emphasis on leadership that will empower students to lead lives of distinction and impact.
