Charity programme
Committed to caring for those in most need
As part of its commitment to responsible and ethical business, the EPTDA started its very own Charity Programme in 2007 with the aim of contributing to the welfare of society and the environment. Besides allocating a share of its budget to selected causes, the EPTDA also invites its members to participate in a joint effort to strive for a better world.
In 2007, UNICEF was the first large organisation to benefit from the EPTDA’s Charity Programme. The collected donation of EUR 12,500 benefited the "Schools for Africa" project, dedicated to creating access to safe drinking water and hygienic sanitation facilities in six sub-Saharan African countries.
In 2008, the EPTDA devoted its charity efforts to special projects endorsed by the Belgian King Baudouin Foundation, joining forces with the VVA - Vlaamse Vereniging Autisme (Flemish Autism Association) - to support the cause of autistic children. The VVA invested the EPTDA’s donation, worth EUR 10,000, in the development of a new interactive website.
The EPTDA pursued its commitment to improving the welfare of society in 2009 by teaming up with the Italian Telefono Azzurro Onlus Foundation. The Foundation, which fights for the protection of children, received EUR 6,000+ from the EPTDA and its members, which was used to enhance the call centre services of Telefono Azzurro.
In 2010, the EPTDA once again focused on children, donating over EUR 7,000 to a Maltese not-for-profit organisation – Puttinu Cares Children's Cancer Support Group.
The EPTDA continually adjusts its operational objectives in order to best fit its strategic goals and achieve its mission more effectively. As from 2011, the EPTDA will devote its Charity Programme to long-term partnerships, making a lasting contribution to securing a better future for those in most need.
In 2011 the EPTDA has joined hands with the Hungarian Together for Children with Tumor Foundation. This non-profit Foundation was established in 1999 with the aim of supporting the work of the Hungarian Paediatric Oncology Network in treating children who suffer from serious illnesses, based at the SE Paediatric Clinic, Tuzolto Street (Budapest). Donations can be made on the enclosed registration form under “charity donation”.
