We have always been dedicated to educational matters as our company is fully based on knowledge. Our business is driven by our employees’ knowledge which, of course, is rooted in their education, and that is precisely why we want to help improve the education of others. We also consider it our responsibility to help children and young adults who do not have the same educational opportunities as we did. That is why we have chosen to support Mtoto Tanzania – a non-profit Danish organisation that funds the daily operations of an orphanage and supports the children’s education.
Mtoto Tanzania seeks to improve the lives of disadvantaged children in Tanzania. They provide care and attention in the orphanages that they have built with the prospect of better living standards, the opportunity to go to school and to get an education and a brighter future. Mtoto offers the children both educational and mentoring programmes that give them the opportunity to attend school and improve their personal development. The projects are situated around Arusha in northern Tanzania, in cooperation with the local community that helps run the daily operations.
