The 15th Children’s Walk took place on June 14. Roche employees supported the good cause on this day around the globe.
Since 2003, more than 220,000 Roche employees have been participating in the Children’s Walk that is held annually across the whole world. With the donations collected, children in need were able to be supported in substantially improving their living conditions in the areas of education, nutrition, basic medical development and social development. The Roche Children’s Walk unmistakably stands for the commitment of our staff in all corners of the globe – last year alone, Roche staff took part in this event at 142 Roche locations in 70 countries and with tremendous success: since that time, the money donated helped to build schools, support classrooms and orphan centers, as well as enabling access to food and clean drinking water in the developing countries of Malawi, Ethiopia, Nepal and the Philippines.
