2010
Since 2009 we have supported numerous initiatives to distribute nets and provide aid where needed. The most striking outreach was our social media experiment on Twitter:
- Outreach to TV personality Nicolette van Dam to retweet our tweet that we needed transport for the 10.000 nets we wanted to donate to victims of the flood in Pakistan.
- Other TV personality Ali B offered his connection to a Dutch DHL director.
- DHL picked up the goods for free and delivered them to Save the Children Pakistan.
- 10.000 nets for Pakistan flooding
Numerous small donations to initiatives aiding our big goal.
“Between 2010 and 2020 Travel Health Group supported numerous projects and initiatives varying from local initiatives to collect medical supplies and mosquito nets for Sub-tropical malaria endemic areas to financial support of nation wide campaigns.”
