As the year comes to a close, we as a group – AARO, Aico, and Mercur – reflect on how we can contribute to long-term, meaningful change. This year, we proudly continue the AARO tradition of supporting The Nchiru Children’s Village in Meru, Kenya – home to around 900 vulnerable and orphaned children across three schools: St. Francis, St. Clare, and St. Philomena.
The 2025 donation is dedicated to installing solar-powered lighting throughout the village. In an area where electricity supply is often unreliable, solar energy offers a safe, sustainable solution. The new lighting will improve safety, support evening study sessions, and enhance the quality of everyday life for both children and staff.
We are proud to support a community that gives children the foundation to grow with stability, confidence, and hope.
Thank you to our customers and partners for helping make this possible. Together, we are not only bringing light – we are helping to create opportunity.
We wish you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a successful 2026!
