UNICOIL and the Community

Towards Lead Free Kids for a Healthy Future

Universal Metal Coating Company Limited (UNICOIL) continued its ongoing social awareness campaigns, which started nearly 4 years ago to warn against the hazards of unsafe use of lead in paints and coated metal products, and lead poisoning, which causes many chronic diseases, suffered by children under 6 years of age. In this context, UNICOIL signed a cooperation agreement with SANAD Children’s Cancer Support Association in Saudi Arabia to launch a coordinated awareness campaign warning against the hazards of lead, by circulating specific guidelines and instructions based on studies approved by international organizations.

Sanad Charitable Association was registered in the Ministry of Social Affairs on 1-12-1423 H. corresponding 2-2-2003 G. and it is a non-profitable charitable association. Its aim is to support centers of children cancer in the Kingdom with all needed from financial and in-kind resources and provide social and shelter services to the patients and their needy families after conducting the field research; as well as prepare educating and learning programs to patients and their families about children cancer disease and how to deal with it.

UNICOIL supports and participates, at national level in “The international lead poisoning prevention week” that takes place one week every year, with a particular focus on eliminating lead exposure by renewing the UNICOIL campaign theme of Know your Galvanized Steel and Know your Pre-Painted Galvanized Steel and information related to impact of lead in zinc and Paint.
