"Ulstein Group wishes to enter into a long-term partnership with SOS Children’s Villages in order to improve education and future prospects for children and youth. The acute situation in Haiti has shown us the importance of aid and good support organisations for rebuilding societies hit by disaster,” says Ulstein Group HR director Torild Bugge.
“We also wish to support projects that are geographically connected with areas where we are active, we have therefore decided to support a major rebuild of the SOS Children’s Village; Porto Alegre in Brazil. We want to show that we care and we also hope to create even more enthusiasm and social awareness amongst our employees and partners.”

Also 100 000 to Haiti
Ulstein Group will also contribute with NOK 100 000,- to SOS-barnebyer in Haiti in addition to the three million agreement. The two SOS Children’s Villages in Haiti were built to high standards and happily they were not damaged during the earthquake. Therefore they can now help children without parents and families that need help.
