GEOLOG Chile organized a social initiative in Punta Arenas with a local kindergarten called “Jardín Infantil Archipiélago de Chiloé”, hosting 104 kids from 8 months to 4 years old.
This type of public kindergarten does not receive sufficient resources to auto sustain and most of the families do not have enough resources to buy basic materials for the kids. For this reason, GEOLOG Chile decided to buy presents for the kindergarten and arrange a magic show for the kids.
The event was very successful: children were enthusiastic and teachers very pleased with the initiative!
Luanda (Angola), 2015
For the last few years GEOLOG has been supporting the Institute Don Bosco in Angola, that in Luanda provides schooling for over 8000 children. One of the major basic need problems the Institute faces on a daily basis is the access to a clean water supply.
Until few months ago the Institute was forced to purchase water from a local distributor and rent a water truck to deliver this. GEOLOG decided therefore to help build a sustainable solution by donating a water truck to the Institute, thereby enabling it to be fully in control of the water supply chain.
The project took many months but we are glad to communicate that truck for the Institute is now working at full capacity, enabling children to have access to get drinking water on daily basis.

Donations after typhoon Haiyan - Philippines (2013)
One of the most powerful tropical cyclone of the history hit the Philippines on November 8, 2013.
Super typhoon Yolanda (International codename: Haiyan) barreled through most of the Visayas, mid-section of the Philippines, leaving a trail of devastation in its path.
It was the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record, killing at least 6.268 people in the country, and leaving even more missing individuals. Nearly 10 million people have been affected.
The huge impact of the typhoon caused overwhelming response and relief efforts by first and foremost foreign governments, the private sector, civil societies, international and local humanitarian organizations.
These collective efforts were done to help affected communities recover from the ravages of this disaster. And so efforts were done by GEOLOG by sending donations to 2 different parties.
One donation was given to one of the main church organization in the Philippines, Jesus The Anointed One. The church organized relief efforts by sending a big truck loaded with rice, gallons of water, noodles soups and boxes of assorted biscuits.
An additional important donation was done to the UN Central Emergencies Response Fund on behalf of GEOLOG through GEOLOG Indonesia.
Charity initiatives for kids – Mozambique (2013)
In Mozambique GEOLOG followed two different charity projects.
The first project was related to a local school for both Mozambique and expat children; a school that is supposed to give an international formation, but that suffers a lack of books, desks, teachers and everything else that is needed for a fruitful and efficient learning environment. GEOLOG Mozambique donated a series of educational equipment to lend a helping hand for these kids.
The second project, “Progetto Ajuda Isabelina”, was carried out keeping in mind that Mozambique is one of the top five poorest countries in the world and children are the first suffering from this extreme lifestyle. GEOLOG Mozambique decided to get in contact with a voluntary mission that provides powdered milk for children lacking the proper amount of vitamins. The mission is distributing this product to children from 0 to 6 months and from 6 to 12 months.
Thanks to the help provided by GEOLOG Mozambique, the mission was able to provide milk for both the age groups for at least 1 year.
AC’s donation to Hassi Messaoud primary school – Algeria (2014)
In 2014 GEOLOG Algeria was involved in a charity initiative in order to help a local primary school.
The project was a donation of AC’s to a primary school in Hassi Messaoud, known as the city of oil in Algeria, where most of oil companies and service companies are based.
GEOLOG chose to donate AC’s because the climate is very hot for more than six months per year, with temperature that could exceed 50 °C
This action contributed to improve the learning environment and to avoid the children to suffer from these extreme hot conditions while studying.
Seeing children very happy for this donation was the best satisfaction possible.
Christmas charity initiative – Peru (2014)
At Christmas 2014 GEOLOG Peru staff went to distribute gifts to a public hospice in Lima.
The hospice gives hospitality to old women who do not have enough money to survive alone. GEOLOG’s staff brought some food and small presents to each lady, and a special gift for all of them: speakers and microphone for the small church that they have in the hospice.
Support to Dom Bosco initiative – Luanda, Angola (2013)
GEOLOG supports the Dom Bosco initiative in Luanda, Angola. This is a charity initiative set up and managed by catholic priests from Italy and now present in over 230 countries worldwide. Their focus is on helping young disadvantaged children gain the necessary skills and education.
In Luanda in particular, Priest Santiago Christophersen runs a truly amazing organization by offering various levels of support: education to over 8,000 children on a daily basis, including 40 baby crèches that provide basic care, milk and food for over 600 children from newborns to the age of 5, a network of 16 schools providing primary and secondary education for over 6.000 children, 3 first aid centers and 5 professional formation centers where teenagers are taught professions, for instance electrician, carpenter, secretary, baker, IT technician.
Without this valuable support most of these children would invariably lack any basic education, like reading and writing skills.
The organization struggles to meet even the most essential necessities like purchasing food and water on a daily basis, let alone educational and recreational equipment (e.g. books and sports equipment).
In this context, an example of GEOLOG’s support to sporting activities was the purchase of equipment and sports facilities like football, basketball and volley uniforms, balls, handball/volleyball nets...
GEOLOG donated technical material with the purpose of training young Angolans and improve their chances of finding a job as skilled workers. Since its creation, the Professional Training Center Dom Bosco has been working with young people and low-income teenagers. For example, in order to help the “electrician” classes achieving their full potential, GEOLOG donated different types of wires and cables, neon lamps, green and red displays and other items.
The equipment donated by GEOLOG will allow these young people to develop high technical skills, and once graduated from Dom Bosco schools, the program will increase their opportunities to find a job faster.
The cooperation between Dom Bosco center and GEOLOG Angola will produce a positive outcome for the young beneficiaries and their families, thanks to the employment opportunities generated by their newly acquired skills.
