OTB Foundation makes giving easier
Diesel owner OTB Group has introduced a new procedure for donations in support of the OTB Foundation in all its brands’ direct stores in Europe.
Clients shopping at any Diesel, Jil Sander, Maison Margiela and Marni direct store in Europe, or in Brave Kid points of sale and outlets, will be able to make donations to the OTB Foundation through the in-store POS terminals.
The donations will be distributed to all the projects supported by the OTB Foundation, which focus on four main areas: women, young people, social integration and emergencies.
Key projects include the creation of a mobile incubator in Kabul, Afghanistan, to foster the growth of micro-enterprises set up by women; support for a residential home for former child soldiers in Dungu, Democratic Republic of the Congo, to assist their reintroduction into society and work; the implementation of an online platform to match job vacancies and job seekers for migrants in Italy; and the supply of an inflatable hospital to provide an immediately operational unit offering quality healthcare in humanitarian emergencies.
Established in 2006 as a non-profit organisation of OTB Group, OTB Foundation was set up to provide a rapid and response in emergency situations and to bring sustainable improvements to people’s lives by guaranteeing equal opportunities. It has invested in more than 350 projects.
