Tech Europe Thermacure Patches
As part of the company's corporate donation strategy, through staff Christmas activities, Tech Europe (EMEA) raised money for 'Actions Not Words', Tech Europe's chosen international charity partner, an NGO which works to better the lives of children living in squalor in Kenya through quality education and medical support. Group President, Dan Layne, was on site in Lisburn to present Charity Director, Glenn Floyd, with a cheque.
Founded in 2012, 'Actions Not Words' focuses on an area within Nakuru, Kenya, and sponsors over 80 children into boarding school from one of Kenya's most poverty stricken slums.
Tech Europe (EMEA) has identified strongly with the two main priorities of 'Actions Not Words', to enable the next generation through
quality education and to provide effective medical care to slum residents of all ages.
Managing Director of Tech
Europe (EMEA), Gar y Crawford, outlines the reasoning behind partnering with 'Actions Not Words': "Tech Europe (EMEA), the business, is currently engaged in developing sales on the African continent as part of a geographic expansion plan, however Tech Europe (EMEA), the people, felt that it was vital to give something back in some tangible, practical form. Once we heard about 'Actions Not Words' and the work they were doing in Kenya, a region where Tech is active, and once we understood the aims of
the organisation, we felt that there was situation we could not ignore and the perfect project to engage with in line with our corporate donation strategy. Tech is proud of the values on which the company was built and on which it still operates today and a key part of this ethic is to look out and give back, and we are delighted to be doing that with 'Actions Not Words'."
