Sika employees in Peru joined hands to support children undergoing burn treatment at ANIQUEM, a local non-profit organization dedicated to providing free medical rehabilitation for young burn survivors. Through this initiative, Sika volunteers spent quality time with children and their families, sharing games, activities, and encouragement to brighten their recovery journey.
Making an Impact Through Volunteering
The event brought together a dedicated team of Sika volunteers who participated with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. Their presence not only provided emotional support but also reinforced Sika’s commitment to health and well-being in local communities.
A key highlight of the initiative was the donation of three wheelchairs through the Café de Impacto program, further enhancing mobility for children in need. This contribution aligns with Sika’s broader mission to foster accessibility and well-being for individuals facing medical challenges. Sika volunteers donated 140 special creams for the medical treatment of children. For every cream that a volunteer donated, Sika donated another one.
