UAE-headquartered hospitality company, Time Hotels Management, has extended its corporate social responsibilities efforts oversees.
Extending its outreach programme beyond the country, for the first time, Time Hotels has partnered with Etihad Airways on a charity initiative to support the development of three schools for underprivileged children in the remote areas of Kakamega County in western Kenya.
“Over the years’ Time Hotels has been involved in a range of activities designed to give back to and support communities at a local but also on a global stage. Tomorrow’s World is an accumulation of this and a platform to ensure what we do today has a positive impact on the world, not just tomorrow but for future generations,” said Mohamed Awadalla, CEO, TIME Hotels.
The Likuyani primary school, nursery and special needs boarding schools, which have a student capacity of 1,700, under went a 12-month program of building repairs and improvement work.
Time raised US $2,723 (AED10,000) in cash donations for the cause through visitor donations in just three months.

“Our overall aim is to add value to people’s lives and the community in general through a combination of cash or in-kind donations, education and employee engagement activities,” said Awadalla.
Other activities undertaken by Time Hotels include the urban garden project, at Time Oak Hotel & Suites in Tecom, Dubai.
Managed in partnership with Slow Food Dubai, the garden educates people on how to grow their own herbs and vegetables in a challenging climate.
Currently 14 different varieties of vegetables and herbs are flourishing, with a selection of the harvest available to sample at the hotel’s restaurants.
