Manos Unidas, Non-Governmental Organization for Development (NGO) aimed at fighting poverty, hunger, malnutrition, disease, lack of education, underdevelopment and its causes, has been working for a while on the design and implementation of an ambitious project: the economic and social development in the region. Framed in this objective, NH is helping to create a School hotel in the region of Tigray (Ethiopia).

The collaboration in this volunteering project consists on the advice and contribution of the know-how (Pro-bono Initiative) of our employees as specialists in the management of hotel establishments, guaranteeing international standards through meetings with the NGO (Manos Unidas) and NH (by business area) aiming to share our experience, possible ideas and recommendations, providing tools, materials and advice on the best guidelines to ensure the best working order of the future establishment. Different departments in NH such as Project Engineering and Construction, Purchasing, Management, Human Resources and Training, Quality and Customer Service, Food and Beverage, Hygiene and Maintenance were involved in this project.

 

This November, culminating collaboration and preparation the opening, a turning point for the project's success, NH HR identified two employees who have the profile that is needed in a pre-opening and, in recognition of a long history in NH, have traveled to Ethiopia for a month to make sure everything is ready with rigorous planning and well-defined objectives.
