MAPAL donates EUR 20,000 for children in need

As a forward-looking and value-oriented company, MAPAL sees itself as an active part of society. From the very early days, the corporate activities have been closely linked to social commitment at various levels. At the turn of the year 2013/14, MAPAL decided not to send out the normal presents to customers and business partners but to support the worldwide activities of the SOS Children's Village organisation with a donation of EUR 20,000. The money is to benefit the SOS Children's Village in Tacloban in the Philippines. The eleven family houses of the village were severely damaged and in some cases completely destroyed by the typhoon "Haiyan" that swept across the Philippines in November. "We hope that with our donation we can contribute to the children being able to quickly return to their familiar surroundings and to the care of their Children's Village mothers. We were very upset and shocked by the extent of the typhoon catastrophe. That is why we would like to help," says Dr. Dieter Kress, President of MAPAL.
