Fortytwo Group recently supported one of its employees, Anthony Meilak, and the organisation Right 2 Smile, on a voluntary work mission with children in Kenya. The group’s employees raised funds for the children and the company then doubled the amount to €800.
“I am really satisfied with the outcome of this initiative. This truly reflects the spirit and values that we embrace as a group, and I am glad employees, even though small in number, are big in terms of generosity,” said Fortytwo Group founder and CEO Erik Angelow.
The mission in Kenya is an all-round experience in the Maasai reserve, where one gets a unique insight into the daily life of Kenya’s Maasai community.
“These are hardworking people who don’t want help; they just want an opportunity. And it is made very clear when you witness their efforts first hand with minimum resources,” explained Mr Meilak.
These funds were used for various projects over six weeks. The projects were targeted at improving the lives of the children and their community. The aim was to improve water accessibility for the community and to improve school facilities.
