A Remarkable Donation and Its Far-reaching Impact
Lyondell's commitment to community welfare was palpable through its generous donation of $25,000 to PAIR. This substantial financial support plays a pivotal role in sustaining and expanding PAIR's year-round programs, ensuring that refugee youth in Houston receive the mentoring, academic support, and life skills necessary for long-term self-sufficiency. Beyond the monetary contribution, Lyondell took their commitment a step further by orchestrating a winter clothing drive. Through a carefully curated Amazon wishlist, they gathered and delivered warm socks, hats, scarves, and winter gear, ensuring that the families we work with are well-prepared for the cold winter months. Amidst their commitment to support, it's crucial to recognize the hurdles refugee youth face upon arriving in a new country.Limited formal education, language barriers, and the need for fundamental life skills pose significant challenges. The conditions are often compounded by the trauma of fleeing war and persecution, as well as the strain of adapting to a new culture.

Their involvement with PAIR exemplifies that corporate support extends beyond financial donations, encompassing active engagement and tangible initiatives.
