We believe that nothing is impossible, you just have to find the right solution.
We at ARNO believe that the actions should speak for themselves. That’s why our initiatives such as the Annual Competition for Green Ideas, Sales of Cooking Classes, Collaboration with Entrepreneurship Teachers, Mentorship for Social Businesses, Incubation of ideas, Workshops for engaging men in home chores and many, many more are living example of this. These projects and social interventions highlight our commitment, readiness, and ability to innovate to respond to social problems.
