Flair Magazine IKEA has celebrated the most romantic day of the year with a different approach and by giving back to the community.
As a Valentine’s present, IKEA and Meshwar Organization for Community Development both collaborated to help an engaged couple live their happily ever after under one cozy roof.
The company fully furnished the couple’s 90 square meter apartment, leaving them completely surprised with the results as they have been struggling to furnish it due to the groom-to-be’s limited income.
“This is a dream come true”, said Ibrahim [the groom-to-be] who works as a teacher on a temporary contract; “We can now set the date to marry and start our own little family. We are both so happy; Valentine’s Day will be the date that we will always celebrate our anniversary. We thank IKEA for being part of our dream and for making it happen”.
Commenting on the initiative, Adosh Sharma, IKEA Egypt Country Manager said: “IKEA is always keen to play an active role in the community, as we strongly believe of the importance of creating ‘A better everyday life for as many people’. We are so pleased to be able to extend a hand. Valentine’s is a celebration of love and we have decided to celebrate it with Ibrahim and his fiancé”.
