KALOO GETS INVOLVED FOR CHILDREN

Because we work for children, we got involved for them. Kaloo supports the following organisations: 

Karuna Asia and the ‘Shechen Projects’

Karuna’s ‘Shechen Projects’ are thirty humanitarian projects around Asia, coordinated by,Matthieu Ricard, a well-known ex-scientist who became a Buddhist monk. 

Kaloo has decided to support and fund entirely, one of these projects: the Shechen school (in the Himalayan region) and the education of its 150 school children. These projects are based on voluntary work, allowing 98% of the amount given to be used directly for the children’s benefit. 

For more information about the « Shechen Projects », please visit www.karuna-asia.org.

Registration number as a charity organization in HK government: 918200. 

UNICEF

‘Health, education, equality and protection of children’, this is UNICEF’s commitment around the world.

The operation ‘Frimousses de Créateurs’, created in 2002 and consists in asking the greatest names in Haute Couture or ‘prêt-à-porter’ including Kaloo, to create one particular dolly, which will be put up for auction. Funds raised will be donated to UNICEF for its vaccination campaign for children.

Gustave Roussy Institute (IGR)

Kaloo supports IGR’s pediatric department, the first European research center for oncology. All our soft toys without packaging or with minor defects are regularly donated to hospitalized children to bring them some comfort or sold by the IGR to raise funds for oncology research. 

In addition to these regular donations, here are some special operations:

·         An exclusive creation of two, mini chubby Kaloo to support the IGR: 10% of each purchase is donated to the research institute.

·         Participation in « 100 hommes pour la vie » (100 men for life): 100 leading figures, 100 pictures, sold by auction for IGR.
