GES to empower underprivileged children with its global CSR initiative

Globe Express Services (GES) launched its new global corporate social responsibility (CSR) social campaign, ‘One Shipment One Dollar’, an initiative that seeks to help underprivileged children in pursuing their right to an education.

Under the initiative, GES will donate $1 for every executed shipment across any of their international offices throughout the period of March 1st to August 31st, 2017. The total proceeds of this campaign will be contributed to selected NGOs coming from respective countries that deal with building and securing a safe learning environment for kids.

Mustapha KawamMustapha Kawam, GES President and CEO, said: “We believe that education is a key factor in building stronger and sustainable communities. Each one of us should feel responsible towards helping children develop their personal identity through getting a proper education. By doing the latter, we will contribute to the society’s overall well-being. Despite all the social barriers and limitations in having access to quality education especially in deprived areas, GES plays a leading role in providing its educational support. The team behind our campaign will collaborate with relevant organisations to guarantee a proper implementation of this initiative where all children will be receiving the needed assistance.”

Through this six-months campaign, GES will provide underprivileged children with the opportunity to obtain a proper education and develop their full potential in a safe environment away from any harm. On top of that, GES encourages its employees and loyal customers worldwide to support this CSR initiative by donating their unwanted clothes, shoes, toys and accessories to these children.

Kawam added: “Smiles and joy will fill those kids’ hearts, some of whom do not even have the basic essentials of life. Through our initiative, we look forward to do whatever it takes to transform their lives into a better future. Children will feel empowered and will gradually be able to uplift their country and promote peaceful communities. Real giving means Making a Difference in an individual’s life and eventually his surroundings. We invite everyone to join hands and be part in this noble act.”
