Dallas, Texas, USA - October 27, 2017:

Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading global information technology, consulting, and business process services company, in partnership with First Book, delivered 18,000 new books to schools in Texas that were impacted by Hurricane Harvey. First Book is a nonprofit social enterprise that has delivered more than 170 million books and educational resources to programs and schools serving children in need.

Wipro volunteers in Plano, Texas packed these books to send to schools that were significantly impacted by Hurricane Harvey in Harris, Matagorda and Wharton Counties in South Texas.

Wipro employs over 1,200 people in Texas, with major operations in the greater Dallas area and Houston. To support the community and help in relief efforts, in Texas, Wipro has committed $250,000 towards the Rebuild Texas Fund set up by the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation in collaboration with the OneStar Foundation. Wipro has also initiated a voluntary donation program, encouraging contributions from all employees to support the hurricane victims. Wipro will match employee contributions dollar for dollar and this amount will also be donated to the Rebuild Texas Fund.

“Wipro is committed to playing a role in enhancing access to books for children in the communities in which we operate,” said Anurag Behar, Chief Sustainability Officer, Wipro Limited. “Our Texas-based employees are happy to support students’ educational journey during this time of need.”

Since 2015, Wipro and First Book have partnered together to distribute over 138,000 books throughout the U.S. and Canada, with a goal of distributing over 200,000 books to children in need, as part of their three-year partnership.

Book ownership and a print-rich environment are leading indicators of a child’s educational success, but for the 32 million children growing up in low-income families in the U.S. alone, books are scarce. A recent study found that in one low-income neighborhood, there was only one book for more than 800 children, whereas in moderate income neighborhoods, there are 13 books for every one child.

First Book, which has operations in both the U.S. and Canada, works with formal and informal educators serving children in need aged between 0-18 years in a wide range of settings - from schools, classrooms, summer school and parks and recreational programs, to health clinics, homeless shelters, faith-based programs, libraries, museums, summer food sites and more. The organization supports more than one in four of the 1.3 million classrooms and programs that are serving children in need in the U.S. alone.

“Access to books deeply affects a child’s ability to learn, and we are grateful that Wipro and its employees in Plano and across the nation continue to support their local communities by spreading First Book’s mission of bringing the transformative power of books to children in need,” said Kyle Zimmer, president and CEO of First Book. “With the support and dedication of Wipro employees, tens of thousands of children can enjoy the power of reading and unlock their future.”
