MSC CRUISES FOR AFRICA
We are proud to support communities in need in Africa through a variety of social initiatives. We promote three important social projects in Africa, and we invite our guests to support them through a small donation added to their bill. With our guests’ help, we can make a difference!
MSC CRUISES for UNICEF
Childhood mortality from malaria can be prevented, thanks to the Life-saving mosquito nets provided by UNICEF. Every minute, a child under the age of five dies of a mosquito bite. In Africa, malaria accounts for one in five childhood deaths. Yet it can be prevented.
Studies have shown that when children sleep under insecticide-treated mosquito nets, overall child mortality can be reduced by up to 20 %. It’s worth remembering that an insecticide-treated mosquito net costs less than $6. UNICEF is the world’s largest provider of insecticide-treated mosquito nets, and MSC Cruises is proud to support this program.

MSC CRUISES for UKUTHEMBA
The Ukuthemba foundation is helping to create a brighter future for abandoned infants in South Africa.
Through the work of The Ukuthemba Foundation, children born into despair can be raised to believe there is hope. Working with local authorities in South Africa, the foundation rescues babies and children who face extreme poverty, abuse and neglect.
It provides a loving home environment where they can be nurtured, educated and integrated into society. With the support of MSC Cruises, the foundation has already been able to take care of more than 100 children and establish two homes, with a third on the way.
MSC CRUISES for INHACA
Balancing the needs of the ecology with those of the local population is not easy, but we are doing our bit to help.
Inhaca Island, in Mozambique’s Maputo Bay, is an important biodiversity hotspot and is home to 5,200 people as well as many species found nowhere else in the world. Its problem is how to create jobs and produce food for the local population while respecting conservation goals. Together with the island’s administration and the Eduardo Mondlane University, MSC Cruises is working to enhance the islanders’ living standards while maintaining biodiversity.
