World Aids Day was marked in different places across the country and all over the world on 1st December, 2008. Bidco as a company was not left behind in these celebrations. The company partnered with the Thika District Commissioner’s office and the National Aids Control Council, Gatanga chapter to organize celebrations and activities at Mukarara market, Gatanga constituency.
The Thika based edible oils and hygiene products manufacturer marked this years’ World Aids Day in style. The company donated several cartons its products to Ah–Ghah–Pay Children Centre which provides a home to children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Gatanaga constituency. The company’s members of staff were also not left behind. Most of them went out of their way to give out some of their used or old clothes. A total of four big boxes of clothes were collected by the company peer educators from members of staff.
This philanthropic gesture should go along way in setting an example to the rest of the country of how Private Public partnership are supposed to work for the benefit of the less fortunate in the society. This will definitely enlighten the lives of these children who are looking up to the rest of us in the society for their future.
