Cette candidature n'est disponible qu'en anglais / This application is only available in English.
Kilo of Kindness is Mövenpick’s global charity initiative which honours the UN International Day of Charity on 5 September. It calls on guests and colleagues to donate at least one kilo of food, clothing and educational supplies to disadvantaged communities around the world.
Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts is lending a hand to people in need through its ‘Kilo of Kindness’ global charity initiative. Now in its fourth year, the successful programme, which honours the United Nations International Day of Charity on 5 September, calls on guests, colleagues and communities at large to donate at least one kilo of food, clothing and educational supplies to disadvantaged people around the world, with a focus on underprivileged youngsters.
Mövenpick properties across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East support the campaign, which runs every year from 1-15 September. Guests and visitors are invited to drop off at least one kilo of supplies at any participating hotel lobby, which will then be distributed locally by the charities each property has partnered with.
This is a global programme with a local focus – giving back to the communities where our properties are located and encouraging our colleagues and guests to do the same, which very much reflects Mövenpick’s corporate values and its commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR).
High-priority items include books, notebooks and stationery such as pens, pencils, rulers and erasers; canned foods such as tuna, soup, fruit, vegetables and concentrated milk; dry foods like rice, beans, oats, pasta, cereals, flour, powdered milk, baby formula, tea and coffee; and clothing for adults and children.
While each guest is encouraged to donate a ‘Kilo of Kindness’, all contributions are gratefully received.
