In 2015, help peru granted the premio sierra award to an organization doing charitable work in peru’s highlands. Kunan initially provided help peru a list of ten organizations considered as potential recipients of the award. Help peru’s donation committee narrowed the list to three organizations and ultimately provided the award to höseg, a clothing company. Höseg, which in hungarian means spreading warmth, is a venture philanthropy type organization – for every jacket höseg sells, höseg founders personally deliver a jacket to a child living in a poor community at least 3,000 meters above sea level. Höseg estimates that approximately 2.5 million peruvian kids suffer from being exposed to the cold temperatures of peru’s highlands. Thanks to the premio sierra award, höseg was able to deliver 385 jackets to six communities in cuzco last december. Kunan has also arranged for ey to provide höseg with advice as to how it should grow its business venture.
