Our efforts in Thailand have resulted in significant accomplishments at Lad Num Kwa School. By implementing solar power solutions, we have effectively reduced the school’s electricity expenses by 58% compared to the past 5 months period. We have also enhanced the students’ wellbeing by introducing a new water purification system. These successful installations were completed in September.

We will adopt Christopher Nxumalo Primary School, a co-educational institution that currently serves 465 students despite facing various challenges. Through our “adoption,” we will address several of the school’s essential needs, including: enhancing its infrastructure, installing a water tank to ensure a reliable supply of clean water and building a sports ground. These projects will improve the health and well-being of the students, as well as their learning environment.

We acquired 17 projectors for the Guardiana de los Saberes Luz y Vida School in Ecuador, benefiting 860 students by enabling presentations, documentaries, and enhancing teaching methods. During our visit to the campus, we collaborated with the principal, teachers, and students to foster a spirit of collaboration. Additionally, we conducted noise tests to determine the optimal placement of the projectors.

In partnership with Manila Water Foundation, we have once again donated Refrigerated Drinking Fountains to 3 schools, dispensing clean and cold water to students and staff. This initiative aligns with our goal of promoting environmental sustainability, encouraging students to use reusable water containers instead of single-use plastic bottles. Additionally, our team engaged in a two-hour hygiene session, instructing children on proper tooth brushing techniques and effective handwashing practices. 

Casa Don Bosco is an institution dedicated to aiding underprivileged and socially vulnerable youth by offering shelter, food, clothing, and education. With the support of their Director we conducted a presentation to reaffirm our commitment as a socially responsible company to continue with our mission of assisting and contributing to society. In addition, we donated cleaning kits as part of our outreach efforts.

Manuchar Kenya partnered with Strathmore University to support 15 students from diverse backgrounds facing unique financial challenges in achieving their higher education dreams. These scholarships cover tuition fee balances, accommodation, and stipend allowances, providing students with the necessary resources and the environment to pursue their studies effectively. Our goal is to foster the development of future business leaders through this initiative.

Promoting education through practical tools, like Office 365 software, Manuchar Peru started a 9-month course designed for children of our warehouse operators. These courses are instructed by volunteers from Manuchar’s administrative staff, who, knowing the benefits the program will have for them, are generating a long-term competitive advantage for the students. Upon completion of the program that’s currently still ongoing, the students will be rewarded with company laptops that are no longer in use by the staff.

Our colleagues in Brazil launched the program “Educating with Agro”, dedicated to creating gardens in community institutions or NGOs within local communities using recycled non-hazardous waste sourced from our distribution centers, including items such as PPE, tires, and bottles. Throughout the garden creation process, volunteers provided informative sessions on sustainable agribusiness in all four participating locations, combining our agricultural proficiency with our commitment to environmental care.
