‘Giving Box’ at The H Dubai to support underprivileged children

DUBAI, January 8, 2024

The H Dubai, a renowned five-star hotel in the heart of Dubai, has installed its first collection box to take preloved items from guests, in line with its recent partnership with Thrift for Good, a community-driven thrift shop chain that focuses on reducing waste and helping underprivileged children.

Named the “Giving Box”, the initiative aligns with The H Dubai’s efforts to promote sustainability and social causes, a statement said.

Committed to zero waste, Dubai-based Thrift for Good rehomes everything that comes through its doors, along with repairing and recycling items, especially clothes.

The thrift shop currently has two stores in Dubai open seven days a week to sell preloved items, and their vision is to create a sustainable world where everyone has what they need to thrive.

It will use the proceeds from the collections to support the Kisoro Children’s Foundation in Uganda, which is an organisation that exists to help build schools, create educational programmes, fund scholarships, and many other initiatives to help people in need. 

Located at the centre of the hotel’s lobby, the Giving Box is a 2m x 2m green cubic container featuring two slots to drop items. The purpose of the box is to collect preloved, non-valuable, unclaimed, lost-and-found items that guests may leave behind after their stay.

The Giving Box also encourages others to voluntarily come and give their preloved items, fostering a culture of reducing waste, helping the environment, and giving back.

Thrift for Good accepts various types of items that can be rehomed, including clothing, shoes, bags, fashion accessories, books, and technology.

It does not accept furniture, toys, large home appliances, sports equipment, and other similar items. The collected goods will be organised, classified, and given to Thrift for Good.

With the new Giving Box installation, the hotel aims to further enhance its impact on the world, reinforcing its dedication to fostering positive change through sustainable initiatives. – TradeArabia News Service
