Under its Community Grants program, Hyatt Regency Gurgaon recently donated USD 14500 (INR 10, 35,870) to the Noida Deaf Society.
The hotel has been working closely with the NGO for community causes and was nominated as one of the chosen properties amongst India for this humanitarian initiative.
The amount will be utilized by the Noida Deaf Society towards skill development and imparting employability training to Deaf Youth.
Hyatt Regency Gurgaon has also employed candidates from Noida Deaf Society, who have been associated with them for the last one year. “We have engaged them in our hotel’s Housekeeping and Food & Beverage department and their performance has been exceptionally well,” said Hyatt Regency Gurgaon’s General Manager, Vishal Singh.
“Our 2020 Grant Cycle is in celebration of Hyatt’s commitment to inclusion and diversity, as well as Hyatt’s signature program, RiseHY which is focused on investing in youth around the world to build the diverse workforce of tomorrow,” he added.
Nearly 200 students would undergo pre-vocational and vocational trainings to develop skills for suitable jobs in the formal industry. Around 100 trained students would be placed in suitable jobs as per their skills sets across the country.
Talking about their NGO’s cause, Ruma Roka, Founder of Noida Deaf Society said, “Our vision is to mainstream deaf children and youth in society by providing quality education and specialized vocational training leading to gainful employment.”
The Hyatt Community Grants program works with Hyatt hotels and resorts all over the world to donate money to nonprofits doing important work in their communities.
Since 2008, Hyatt has helped direct nearly $3.5 million to over 260 deserving nonprofits in 52 countries. This year, Hyatt proudly awarded over $360,000 to 29 nonprofits across the globe. The grants celebrate and build upon hotels long-standing partnerships with local community-based organizations providing on-the-job training and employment opportunities to Opportunity Youth and under-resourced youth.
