Etihad Airways’ staff provide humanitarian support to the Philippines
Etihad staff and volunteers donated more than 200 bags
of groceries to the families of Philippine Community Fund students in the
Smokey Mountain area in Tondo Manila.
A group of volunteers from Etihad Airways’ Abu Dhabi headquarters recently
visited the Philippines to provide much needed support to victims of typhoon
Utor.
The volunteers spent four days distributing clothing, food, toiletries and
blankets to Filipinos who lost their homes and livelihoods in the severe
flooding caused by the typhoon.
Beneficiaries of the charity mission included an aged care facility, a home
for abused women and children, and the Philippine Christian Foundation
School - a not-for-profit organization which assists disadvantaged
communities.
Head of CSR and Sustainability at Etihad Airways, Anne Tullis said: “We
provide significant logistics support by way of free flights and cargo to
assist NGOs and charities, for whom these costs are a huge overhead. But
being able to provide hands-on support at a grassroots level makes a real
difference to the lives of the communities, and more especially, the
volunteers.
Etihad staff and volunteers visited the Ephesus Home
for girls in Guiguinto Bulacan and handed out care packages of food items,
clothing and blankets.
“This initiative complements our ongoing support for the Philippine
Christian Foundation which includes flights and participation in their
recycling and vocational programs at the Smoky Mountain Centre.”
This week’s donations campaign brought together staff from Etihad Airways’
CSR department, Etihad Cargo and the airline’s Social and Sports Committee,
which also donated funds to buy relief kits and food parcels.
