Genesis Property, partnership with “Ana and the Children” Association: 10 children "taken into care", rehabilitation of the center in Urlati and a special day in West Gate for 35 children
Genesis Property expands the partnership started in 2018 with “Ana and the Children” Association and announces the support of 10 children, part of the "take a child into care" campaign, the rehabilitation of the center in Urlati, and also special activities, held in the business parks in the Genesis Property portfolio.
„We constantly appreciate the efforts of the “Ana and the Children” Association, in their mission to help the kids in need. Every child deserves a chance at a better future and, through our partnership, we try to bring more hope and joy into the lives of the little ones. It is also important to us, at Genesis Property, to continue to educate young people and engage them in educational activities, through which we can encourage the development of skills such as critical thinking, creativity and social responsibility. We are dedicated to creating a more sustainable future and proud to support organizations such as the “Ana and the Children” Association,” said Cristina Iacob, Marketing & CSR Manager, Genesis Property.
The company supports 10 children from the association, throughout 2023, as part of the "take care of a child" campaign, covering monthly expenses for basic needs. The program started in 2015, with a number of 20 children from the Ana and the Children Day Center – Bucharest. This year, the initiative expands to 200 children who need help every day.
„We thank our partners at Genesis Property, actively involved in our projects aimed at creating a better life for children. We have a common vision and we all realize how important the little ones are and how much the support matters to them. Together, we can create lasting change and a brighter future for the children in our care,” added Mihaela Voivozeanu, President, “Ana and the Children” Association.
Genesis Property volunteers have also rehabilitated the Community Center in Urlati, Prahova, which benefits not only the over 50 children who attend it daily but also the micro-community formed around it. Several improvements were made during this action, such as the pouring of three concrete platforms and the distribution of 26 tons of gravel in the yard. Additionally, a gazebo and a shed were refurbished, and several pieces of furniture and exterior decor were painted.
Yesterday, on May 30th, 35 of the little ones had a special day inside West Gate, with activities and performances dedicated to them, lots of surprises and an atmosphere meant to ensure the joy they deserve around Children's Day.
The partnership between Genesis Property and “Ana and the Children” Association also included an educational action, at the company's headquarters, during which a talented group of children accumulated knowledge about a durable future, sustainability and the environment.
The actions contribute to eight of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals part of the UN 2030 Agenda (No poverty, Zero hunger, Quality education, Reduced inequalities, Sustainable cities and communities, Responsible consumption and production, Climate action and Partnerships for the goals), to which Genesis Property's entire sustainability strategy is aligned.
