In a series of events which took place in 24 Egyptian governorates over the span of 60 days, and in cooperation with El Orman association, Pepsi and Chipsy managed to draw a smile on the faces of one million orphans. The “Yalla Nekammel Lammetna” initiative turned out to be a huge success with the help of over 600 employees from both companies, and through the competition launched in Ramadan “Fawazir malhash 3adad”. Over 10,000 children attended the finale event, which took place in the International Garden in Alexandria, in addition to top management from companies and representatives from El Orman association, as well as numerous public figures. The event entailed a variety of entertainment programs and performances, which certainly caused the children to have a wonderful time; and at the end of the event they were handed gifts from the organizers whom they thanked dearly for showing them a very memorable evening.

During the festivity PepsiCo with El Orman association distributed to all the children before school resumes, back to school stationery, school bags and new clothes to start the school year on a good note. Tarek Mansour, General Manager PepsiCo Egypt, said “We are proud to have taken part in this initiative, and all employees at Pepsi and Chipsy are happy to have helped in drawing a smile on the children’s faces”. He added “The initiative gained huge popularity and responsiveness from the Egyptians; and with over one million users on the Facebook competition page, a large number took part in increasing the number of orphans who have been celebrated and recognized across the country”. He also added that through these events, which included an event at Dream Park that was attended by over 10,000 children, the company was keen on drawing a smile on the children’s faces in an unconventional manner, just as it welcomed the holy month of Ramadan with its “Yalla Nekammel Lametna” initiative which took the Egyptians back to the golden days.

The Fawazir revolved around the “Solve the riddle and make children happy” motto, and featured innovative and creative ideas which helped in attracting thousands of participants who anxiously awaited the releases of new riddles to solve them and add a child to the event. Mr. Hossam El Kabbany, Chairman of El Orman association, said “We are glad to have joined forces with two giant companies such as Pepsi and Chipsy in this great initiative, whose numbers have shown the level of success it has reached.” He added “Such initiatives are sure to have a positive impact on orphans’ lives, and could encourage other companies to launch similar initiatives to serve the community”. The initiative and celebrating the orphans come in hand with PepsiCo’s keenness on following their strategy of “Performance with Purpose” which aims to make a positive imprint on society and all communities while delivering its business objectives.

To spice it up and create more engagement, Pepsi solicited consumers to participate in an online competition .The competition entailed daily riddles that were released on the companies’ social media pages for users to participate and help in drawing smiles on the orphans’ faces.
