Gildan more and more involved in Honduras
2015/04/30
Gildan will be redistributing all the subsidies granted to it by the Honduras government (after taking part in an employment programme called “Con Chamba Vivís Mejor“) to selected community projects, as well as to other projects chosen jointly with FUNDEIH (Foundation for the integral development of Honduras). These funds, amounting to more than 3.5 million US dollars, will be used to finance projects relating to education, health, living conditions and accommodation in the north of the country, where Gildan is located.
“We are convinced that these projects will have a considerable effect on the communities in which our employees live”, explained Benito Masi, Gildan’s first production vice-president. Now counting more than 27,000 employees all over the country, Gildan is amongst the largest private employers in Honduras.
