Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
In the year under review, Naïade Resorts Ltd pursued and increased its objectives in this area, in line with its policy, defined in 2005, of supporting and encouraging the less privileged sections of society. Our long-running community programmes aim to promote strong, safe and healthy communities by investing resources and time in focused projects directly relevant to local needs.
Highlights for 2006
Naïade Resorts Ltd has been a pioneer and a major partner in the fi nancing of four psychologists currently working for the Adolescent Non Formal Education Network (ANFEN), a national association of NGOs devoted to the development of children and adolescents living in diffi cult areas. In the year under review the psychologists carried out group therapy and provided psychological support to coordinators and parents. Evaluation of the work of the psychologists clearly shows that this service achieved positive results in building and increasing adolescents' self esteem.
In the south-western region, Les Pavillons School of Music, fully fi nanced by our CSR budget, has now got into its stride after 2 years in operation. Its 35 youngsters from the neighbouring villages of La Gaulette, Le Morne, Case Noyale and Coteau Raffin are enjoying regular practical tuition in the playing of musical instruments (guitar, pop drum, recorder, keyboard and flute), coupled with lessons in music theory, all dispensed by 4 teachers from Arpège, École
de Musique, our contracting trainers and teachers.
Another fundamental and noteworthy element of our CSR policy is support to
schools run by benevolent members to help school drop-outs in the less privileged regions. These vulnerable children and adolescents are taken in charge by the schools, which aim to prevent them from sinking into the dangerous world of drugs, alcohol and violence.
Étoile de Mer at Roches Noires, the Centre d'Apprentissage Paille en Queue and the Jean Éon RCA School at Grand Gaube, École de la Vie at Baie du Tombeau, École Notre Dame de Fatima at Mahébourg and the Eastern Welfare Association for the Disabled at Bel Air Rivière Sèche are the main benefi ciaries of this concerted action of Naïade Resorts Ltd. The Group's fi nancial support ranges from contributions to the institutions' current budget to the renovation and upkeep of their various buildings. |
