Every year, Optidev and its customers make sure that hundreds of thousands of Christmas gifts are delivered on time and to the right children all around Sweden. In a sense, Optidev’s office is hectic like Santa’s workshop with full activity right up until Christmas.

In addition to making sure Swedish children get their Christmas gifts, Optidev makes a donation to Monica and Carl-Axel Ekman’s Garissa foundation. Garissa focuses on helping the most vulnerably girls in eastern Kenya and operates several orphanages and schools for girls, providing them a safe home and education. Garissa fights to prevent genital mutilation of girls, which is illegal but still common in Kenya.
