Kesla’s in #kummitilassa!

“Children and young people have a future, which is why supporting them when faced with illness is important,” says Simo Saastamoinen, CEO of Kesla Plc. “The Godparents Association of Children’s Clinics does important work for children and young people, and it also provides responsible companies with a great channel for participating in voluntary activities. “We have chosen mental health work for children and young people as a donation target, the needs of which have – unfortunately – grown considerably in recent years,” Saastamoinen adds.

Kesla will donate €10 for all domestic machine deliveries ordered from 1 June to 31 December 2021 for mental health work for children and young people. In addition, machine deliveries are accompanied by the Godparents’ “comfort”, for which €3 goes to the Activities of the Godparents of Children’s Clinics.

Kesla has three business areas: automotive and industrial cranes, tractor equipment and logging equipment. The campaign applies to all business areas.

Kesla also has its own digital collection magazine, through which a private individual or, for example, Kesla’s partner company can donate the amount they want. The box can be found at: https://oma.kummit.fi/4089.
