Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts is to continue a global partnership with Right4Children that started in 2009. To date, 135 young people have benefited from the training programme across hotels in the Middle East.

Mövenpick Hotel West Bay Doha plans to continue its partnership with Right4Children, an organisation in Nepal that helps disadvantaged young people by giving them the opportunity to train and work in the hospitality industry, according to local media.

Children participating in the programme undergo basic training in the housekeeping, kitchen, bell service and food and beverage departments and attend classes to improve their English knowledge and customer service skills until they are ready for full-time employment at the hotel.
