Nuvei Makes Donation to the Marie-Vincent Foundation to Fight Sexual Violence Against Children
May 04 2021 - 9:00AM
Nuvei Corporation (TSX: NVEI and NVEI.U), the global payment
technology partner of thriving brands, announced today that it has
made a three-year charitable pledge to the Marie-Vincent Foundation
to help support efforts to prevent and fight sexual and physical
violence against children.
Around one in five girls and one in 10 boys has experienced
sexual abuse at some point during their childhoods*. Nuvei will
donate $100,000 over the next three years to the Marie-Vincent
Foundation, a nonprofit organization that plays a role in
preventing sexual violence by targeting children, adolescents,
parents, professionals and the general public with information,
while providing specialized treatment to children and adolescents
who are victims of sexual violence.
After having to cancel its fundraising events last year due to
the pandemic, the Marie-Vincent Foundation launched a three-year
fundraising campaign to help more young people in Québec. Its goal
is to advance four major projects: improving service access by
recruiting additional staff, opening a second Child Advocacy
Centre, filling a gap in specialized treatment for young victims,
and supporting research into sexual violence.
As part of its ongoing Environmental, Social, and Corporate
Governance (ESG) initiatives, Nuvei continues to support meaningful
causes, including charitable donations and activities that promote
social responsibility. Nuvei’s donation to the Marie-Vincent
Foundation will move the charitable organization closer to reaching
its objectives.
“The board of directors of the Marie-Vincent Foundation is
extremely grateful that we can count on the support of Nuvei,” said
Jessica Pathy, chair of the Marie-Vincent Foundation board of
directors. “This important commitment will enable us to pursue our
mission and help more children in Québec.”
“We are honored to help fight the battle against child sexual
abuse alongside the Marie-Vincent Foundation,” said Philip Fayer,
Nuvei's chair and CEO. “We believe in contributing to the
communities in which we serve, both locally and globally, and look
forward to working with the Foundation to support its long-term
goals.”
