On Tuesday, November 11, a symbolic handover ceremony marked a meaningful act of corporate social responsibility in Suriname, as leading regional ICT firm Wintel N.V. donated SRD 100,000 to Kinderhuis Elim van de Heer, a long-running children’s shelter in Houttuin. The donation was officially presented by Nelson Kam, chair of the K.A.N.S. voor het Kind Foundation, which facilitated the contribution on Wintel’s behalf, with additional board members of the foundation in attendance to witness the handover. Founded in February 1993 by dr. M. Singh and Sandra Singh-Getrouw, Kinderhuis Elim van de Heer has spent more than 30 years providing safe, supportive housing and targeted guidance to vulnerable children who lack access to a stable, nurturing living environment. The shelter moved to its current location on Cassialaan in Houttuin back in 2002, and now has ambitious expansion plans to build a new 12-classroom school facility, complete with a dedicated computer lab and on-site library. These new amenities will serve not only the children residing at the shelter, but also underserved young people from the surrounding local community. Nelson Kam emphasized that the donation aligns perfectly with the longstanding community-focused mission of both Wintel and the K.A.N.S. voor het Kind Foundation, noting that Wintel’s 28th anniversary was intentionally framed as an opportunity to give back to the public rather than only celebrate the company’s own milestones. Established in 1998, Wintel N.V. operates across Suriname and the wider Caribbean region, delivering specialized ICT services, digital transformation support, and customized airport technology solutions. The donation was made possible through collaborative support from Wintel’s extended network of sponsors and industry partners affiliated with the K.A.N.S. voor het Kind Foundation.
