With the support of Orange Ardzagank kindergarten in Gyumri already has a heating system

Yerevan/Mediamax/.From today on “Ardzagank” kindergarten in Gyumri with up to 200 children will be heated by means of a new heating system.

The project on furnishing the kindergarten with a new heating system was implemented by Orange Foundation in the frames of the special initiatve launched recently, which aims to enable Orange employees to present their charity projects and help to solve this or that social problem. The project on heating the kindergarten in Gyumri is the first charity project, presented by Orange employees, which is funded by Orange Foundation. This initiative will be ongoing and will enable all Orange employees, who wish to implement such charity projects, present them to Orange Foundation, and if the presented projects meet the main scope of activities of Orange Foundation, they will be funded by the Foundation.

Bruno Duthoit, President of the Board of Orange Foundation, said: “We highly prioritize engagement of our employees in our social activities. In all possible cases our employees become direct participants in implementation of such projects. However, we have tried to take one more step ahead: now our employees themselves can be the initiators and coordinators of such projects. Orange Foundation is happy to support our employees to solve small or big social problems, which they see or prioritize around them”.

Orange Foundation has allotted AMD 2,8 million for acquisition of the new heating system.
