Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts is bringing back its "Kilo Of Kindness" charity campaign, which invites guests to donate at least a kilo of food, clothing or educational supplies to disadvantaged communities around the world.
In its sixth year, more than 45 Mövenpick hotels across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East are supporting the campaign, which runs throughout September. Guests and visitors are invited to drop off supplies at any participating hotel lobby, which will then be distributed locally by the charities each hotel has partnered with.
In Thailand, Mövenpick hotels and resorts including Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort Bangkok; Mövenpick Residences Ekkamai Bangkok; Mövenpick Hotel Sukhumvit 15 Bangkok; Mövenpick Resort Khao Yai; Mövenpick Asara Resort & Spa Hua Hin; and Mövenpick Resort Bangtao Beach Phuket are accepting items such as clothing, personal hygiene products, books, toys and dry food. They will be shared with communities in need, with a focus on underprivileged children and women.
The local charities the hotels have partnered with include Kru Bannok project in Chiang Mai, which supports youth and teachers in under-served schools across rural Thailand; Baan Nok Kamin Foundation, home to orphans, the elderly and those suffering from drug addiction; Bandek Ramindra School, home to the blind with multiple disabilities; Women Correctional Institution in Nakhon Ratchasima; Baan-pa-mark Border Patrol Police School in Prachuap Khiri Khan; and Phuket Panyanukul School which caters to those with intellectual disabilities and hearing difficulties.
In 2019, a record 21,921kg of supplies were donated via the participating hotels. The target for this year is 25,000kg.
