TEAM Announces Support for Plan and Project Saksham

Dec 19 | 2013

Team Relocations has recently announced a three-year commitment to a major fund raising initiative in support of Plan, the UK headquartered global children’s charity. Founded over more than 75 years ago, Plan is one of the oldest and largest children's development organisations in the world.


Plan's vision is of a world in which all children realise their full potential in societies that respect people's rights and dignity.

 

Leonie Kerkelaan, Team’s Group Compliance Officer commented, “We wanted to strengthen our core business values by demonstrating our commitment to helping shape society and economy in underprivileged locations, in a positive and sustainable way."

 

Project Saksham, operated by Plan in India, aims to achieve decent employment for youth living in poor urban and rural areas ensuring that all entering the workforce are equipped with the knowledge and life skills required for quality jobs and work their way out of poverty.

 

“We are committed to bringing lasting, positive change in the lives of children of the country, particularly the excluded and most deprived,” said Bhagyashri Dengle, Country Director for Plan India.

 

Team’s commitment to the project will encompass all of their 34 locations across the 13 countries in which they are based and will include significant fundraising initiatives aimed at contributing €50,000 to the project annually.
