Etihad Airways has launched its community outreach programme in Uganda with donations of air tickets, blankets and school supplies to the Whisper Children’s Home in Mutai, in Jinja district, Uganda.

Aimed at improving the lives of young children in need, the Whisper Children’s Home was established in May 2011 to provide much-needed hope and rehabilitation support to local children suffering from malnutrition and living in life-threatening conditions.

The donation to the Children’s Home falls under the airline’s ‘Giving Together’ Corporate Social Responsibility initiative which encompasses charitable giving programs to selected charities across its global network.
