LAHORE – AkzoNobel’s flagship brand Dulux has donated 48,000 Euros to SOS Children’s Village Pakistan in the efforts to uplift the lives of young people under the care of SOS Children’s Villages of Pakistan.
This initiative is part of Akzonobel’s “Let’s Colour” global program that aims to use education and renovation to drive a positive impact on youth unemployment.
The Cheque was handed over to Saba Faisal, National Director SOS Village by Saad Mahmood Rashid CEO AkzoNobel Pakistan.
