KFC AND PIZZA HUT SUPPORT “VREAU ÎN CLASA A NOUA” PROJECT
FIND OUT MORE
Vreau în clasa a noua” is a project dedicated to children from rural areas, for which the school year ends much earlier than it should. In collaboration with World Vision Romania, we support the children who don’t have the resources but are willing to keep on studying. Right now, there are 120 children that KFC and Pizza Hut support on an annual basis, through a number of monthly scholarships that cover their expenses for school and offer them access towards a better life.
Following the 2016 edition of the program, KFC together with Pizza Hut donated 117.000 euro to World Vision Romania.
KFC’S ADD HOPE SOS SATELE COPIILOR
FIND OUT MORE
Since 2004, we decided to get involved in a new CSR project, contributing to improve a major problem that the Romanian society is facing: the drop out of school children coming from families with poor material capabilities. We are part of this community and we wish to actively contribute to shape it as harmoniously as possible, so in 2015 the Hot Bucket from the KFC menu became “Bucket for good”: for every bucket purchased by our clients we donate 1 leu for the SOS Satele Copiilor organization. In just 10 months, the project had an unexpected success and we donated more than 50.000 euro to the organization, in order to support two houses from the SOS village which cover the food, clothing, medical care and educational activities.
