GIFT ELVES PROCESS
We strongly believe is a process driven approach for sustained and successful completion of all our projects.
Our six steps process involves:
- Authenticate the operations of orphanages / underprivileged centres through personal visits
- List the requirements in the four areas – Educare / Sociocare / Nutricare / Medicare
- Organise community-centric drives for collections
- Inspection and segregation of commodities
- Transport the collected-utilities to respective centres
- Close the loop with the donors and volunteers
