ARTEBENE takes on godparenthood within Plan International

 

Welcome, little Sreykat!
To as a family-run business, taking on social responsibility is important, and we align our daily activities to the UN Global Compact's principles. Moreover, we have entered into a specific commitment within the children's aid organization Plan International last year, which is also supported by the United Nations Refugee Agency.

Today we are proud godparents of little Sreykat in Cambodia and support her, her family and her community. Especially education for girls in developing countries is one of the most effective solutions in the battle against hunger and exploitation, which is why have decided to take on this godparenthood.

Sreykat will turn 6 in May and lives with her parents who are small farmers in the mountain region of Ratanakiri. She has been visiting primary school since 2019, her favourite subjects are language and local dialect. Ratanakiri is a province in the remote northeast of Cambodia which is known for its lush forests and precious stones, but it unfortunately also belongs to Cambodia's poorest regions. Its 184,000 inhabitants live in villages where infrastructure in the areas health, education and street conditions is very poore. Most people earn there money from seasonal agriculture, growing rice, manioc, cashew nuts and caoutchouk. Only just over a half of the population can read and write. Among others, this has to do with the fact that the next school is more than 30 km away.

Malnutrition among children and mothers is one of the biggest problems that prevent children from a healthy start to their lives. Insufficient access to drinking-water and the lack of hygiene and sanitation facilities expose families to severe health risks.

Sreykat's family gets most of its water from a river, a stream or a lake. It takes them about 30 minutes to get to the next water point. The family does not have toilet facilities. Their home is a small wooden house with a corrugated roof.

Plan International has been active in the Ratanakiri region since 2011 and has already been able to achieve numerous improvements of families' living conditions. Among others, 37 preschool classes have been equipped with teaching materials, four new primary schools, a secondary school and 35 wells have been built. More initiatives will be put into place over the coming five years in order to react to the region's key issues. This includes nursing and support of toddlers, nutrition, education, child protection as well as water and hygiene.

We are glad to be part of this fantastic initiative and look forward to following Sreykat's development through photos and letters from Cambodia. Every member of the ARTEBENE family has embosomed Sreykat already.

ARTEBENE CONTRIBUE À FAÇONNER L’AVENIR

 

En plus du parrainage de Plan International, nous soutenons également la famille Yadav en Inde. Avec la prise en charge des coûts de l’éducation scolaire de la petite Aaradhya, la fillette de 4 ans fréquente maintenant la maternelle depuis mars 2022 et ira bientôt à l’école primaire. Son père Rajeesh fait partie de l’usine de production partenaire d’ARTEBENE en Inde en tant que chauffeur et est heureux des nouvelles perspectives pour sa petite fille. Son employeur et mentor Manu Gulati est également enthousiaste : « C’est une cause très noble et dans notre société et nos enseignements religieux, on dit que la plus grande aide est l’aide à l’éducation ». Nous attendons avec impatience les prochains rapports sur les progrès d’Aaradhya et lui souhaitons beaucoup de succès à l’école.
