Facing abuse, helping paediatricians recognise child abuse

Facing abuse, helping paediatricians recognise child abuse

According to a recent survey, child abuse goes unrecognised in one in two hospitals in Italy and abroad. Often the signs are not easy to spot and very few of the young victims manage to seek help. To combat this social plague, Menarini is supporting the Facing abuse: emergence and communication in child and adolescent abuse initiative, a project that has existed for years but was relaunched in 2022 under a new name. The project, carried out under the patronage of the Italian Society of...

Through the Smile Asia charity, Menarini Asia Pacific helps patients in the region affected by cleft palates by contributing towards the financing of surgical interventions to correct this congenital defect.

Tommasino Hospitality Homes

Tommasino Hospitality Homes

The need for long stays away from home is a burden that many families have to bear in order to have their children treated. A painful and economically burdensome situation, in which so many relatives of children hospitalised at the Meyer Children's Hospital in Florence also find themselves. To help them, Menarini has been supporting the Tommasino Bacciotti Foundation for years. Founded in memory of a child who lived in Fiesole and was affected by a rare and aggressive form of brain...

Menarini Joventut

Menarini Joventut

A giant M features prominently in the centre of their basketball shirts. The wheelchair basketball players of the Joventut Badalona Club can count on the sponsorship of Menarini Spain. A bond that is also underscored by the team’s new name – Menarini Joventut – the most recent chapter in a long-standing friendship. The Punts que Sumen (Points that add up) project, organised in conjunction with the company and the Serveis Educatius Ciutat de Badalona, has been...

Bag to School

Going to school is a serious matter and students should be equipped with everything they need. In many countries, however, children from poor families cannot afford to buy even the essential stationery for learning in class and doing their homework. Since 2012, Menarini Philippines has chosen to stand beside them, with the Bag to School project. Notebooks, crayons, pencils, erasers, sharpeners. Funds raised through this initiative go towards the purchase of basic school supplies for...

Dining Scholarship Project, everyone in the canteen

Dining Scholarship Project, everyone in the canteen

The school canteen is not just a catering service, but a “space” for guaranteeing the fundamental rights of children, namely education and food. This is the value underpinning the Dining Scholarship Project, launched in Spain by the NGO Educo and supported by the Menarini Group, with the aim of providing what have come to be known as “becas comedores”, or canteen scholarships: a meal a day for children at risk of social exclusion. With the contribution of Menarini...

My Voice, Your World

My Voice, Your World

The “voice of Menarini” has become a gift for the visually impaired children of the Beijing School for the Blind. On World Book Day 2022, the employees of Menarini China and their families transported the school’s students on a journey into the magical world of stories. The pleasure of reading, which is often denied to visually impaired children, is an experience that they too were able to experience through hearing. To achieve this, Menarini China chose the My...

Aid from the wardrobe

Aid from the wardrobe

Solidarity is like receiving a warm hug. The recipients of the donation from Menarini Australia, in collaboration with Pass it on Clothing & Co., know all too well what this means. The aim of this Sydney-based social enterprise is to provide free basic clothing to the homeless. All our employees were thus able to contribute to this project, which was launched in the second half of 2022, by donating clothing taken from their own wardrobes. Clothes that they decided to give away with a...

Bridge of Kindness

Bridge of Kindness

In the rural Chợ Lách district in Vietnam, even going to school can be dangerous. Many bridges made of bamboo or timber are fragile and often outdated structures can put people's safety at risk, especially during the monsoon season. In cooperation with the Ho Chi Minh Association for Poor Patients, Menarini Vietnam and its employees have organised several fundraising initiatives to finance the reconstruction of the old Bé Sâu concrete Bridge, renamed the Bridge of Kindness. The...

A Carnival of solidarity

A Carnival of solidarity

In August 2022, a number of employees of Menarini Singapore watched a film together about autism.

A month later, this experience became the inspiration behind the Menarini team’s HoliOOSH x Menarini Carnival. The guests of honour were 40 disabled children and young...

There are just six teachers at the Kojchavej Vitaya Institute, located about 85 kilometres from Bangkok, to take care of 65 students and they often find themselves without sufficient books and teaching material.

Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is celebrated in October or November to propitiate a “new beginning” of the year.

A special day at the orphanage

The orphanage in Jakarta hosts about thirty children who have been abandoned by their parents. They range in age from just a few months to eight years old and the life of each and every one has begun with an uphill struggle.

The delivery of the aid, overseen by our employees, was also an opportunity to spend a day in the company of the institute’s young guests. Hours...

A complete meal that nourishes and provides a future

Poverty and hunger in India are epidemic. In a country of great social inequality, the majority of the population does not have the opportunity to consume sufficient and adequate food even once a day. To combat both malnutrition and lack of education, Menarini India supports the NGO Annamrita. To break the vicious circle that links hunger and illiteracy, this organisation provides free, healthy and hygienically prepared lunches every day in 21 Indian cities. The belief that inspires the...
