Henkel Egypt celebrates the silver anniversary of the ” “Make an Impact on Tomorrow” (MIT) program, which is regarded as one of the company’s most significant social responsibility initiatives. This year, Henkel Egypt chose the 57357 Children Hospital to commemorate this day, in order to support the children fighting cancer in their rehabilitation process and in maintaining their physical and mental wellbeing.
Over 50 Henkel Egypt employees took part in the celebration to host a carnival and a series of workshops on art, music, and theater for more than 200 children in the hospital. The workshops were designed to facilitate their healing process and their well-being, and to enhance the employees\u2019 awareness on various topics related to health, sustainability and science.
The MIT initiative is an integral part of Henkel\u2019s global CSR strategy, which aims at engaging the company\u2019s employees in various initiatives to create an effective social impact. The program is conducted every year in May in several regions, including India, the Middle East and Africa on the same day. Every year, a local non-profit organization (NGO) is chosen to be supported through a gala event organized by Henkel employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
