In a heartfelt initiative that resonates with our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Sika proudly announces a significant partnership with Maher Shelter for underprivileged children in Navi Mumbai, India. Under the banner of "Sika Nurtures Hope," Sika and the NGO embark on a journey to uplift and support these young souls, aligning actions with a profound dedication to giving back to society.
Building Foundations of Support
Sika's CSR activities are more than just initiatives; they are the building blocks of a better society. The Maher Boys Shelter, a haven for 35 orphaned street boys in Navi Mumbai, stands as a testament to collective responsibility towards the welfare and development of society. Situated in the neighborhood of our Mumbai Head Office, the shelter is a beacon of hope for these young lives.
Beyond Books: A Commitment to Education
The journey of our partnership began on Sika Day 2023. Sika employees visited the Maher Shelter, engaging in playful activities and sharing a meal with the kids. As an initial gesture of support, many employees generously donated mattresses and old books to enhance the living conditions and educational resources for the children.
Continuing its commitment to education, Sika organized a book reading session, fostering a love for learning among the boys. This not only enriches their minds but also underscores the belief in the transformative power of education.
Sika Maher Home: A Symbol of Sustained Support
In a moment of profound significance, Philipp Jost, Regional Manager Asia/Pacific, and Member of Sika Group Management, and Yumi Kan, Area Manager South Asia and Head Target Market Concrete & Eng. Refurbishment APAC, handed over a cheque to Maher NGO, ensuring the shelter's rent is covered for an entire year. This transformative contribution marks the beginning of a sustained relationship, turning the Maher Shelter into the "Sika Maher Home."
"Sika Nurtures Hope" is more than a campaign; it's a call to action, an invitation to join hands in creating a positive impact on young lives. Together, with Maher Shelter, Sika is committed to nurturing hope, fostering growth, and building a brighter future for these underprivileged children in India.
