Air Arabia and Sharjah Charity International inaugurate new school in Kerala, India
Trissur, India - Air Arabia, the first and largest low-cost carrier (LCC) in the Middle East and North Africa, in collaboration with Sharjah Charity International, announced the inauguration of its latest Charity Cloud School in the Trissur district of Kerala, India.
The school, built as part of Air Arabia's Charity Cloud project initiative that is driven by on-board passenger donations, is the company's first community school project in India and is in line with Air Arabia's corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme for 2009. The school will offer quality education to children from underprivileged sections of society.
Air Arabia became one of the first companies from the region to introduce a sustainable CSR programme when it launched the "Charity Cloud" project in collaboration with Sharjah Charity International in 2005. The programme is aimed at raising funds for community development initiatives through on-board passenger donations. The fund collections are reviewed annually and invested in health and education projects in impoverished nations through a planned CSR programme.
Last year, Air Arabia sponsored a new school in Warkabola, Sri Lanka, through its Charity Cloud project initiative. The company also sponsored the first phase of renovations of the Shree Shagyodaya Secondary School in Kathmandu, Nepal, in the same year, funds for which were raised mainly through on-board passenger donations. Full adoption of the school renovation will commence as phase two of this project.
In 2007, Air Arabia and Sharjah Charity International inaugurated the Charity Cloud Medical Centre, the first free medical clinic in the Jallas area of Sudan. Jallas is a desert area roughly 450 kilometres from the national capital, Khartoum, and has a population of over 20,000. The clinic, which is constantly being upgraded to provide better facilities, currently includes an operation and examination room, maternity room as well as a fully equipped laboratory and pharmacy.
