Dr. Jochen Weyrauch, CEO of Dürr AG: “As an internationally operating company, we see it as part of our social responsibility to support social projects at home and abroad. We want to contribute to better educational opportunities for children and help people who are experiencing social hardship due to personal tragedy.”
About UNICEF
UNICEF is active in over 190 countries worldwide. For more than 75 years, the United Nations Children’s Fund has been using effective programs and political work to ensure that children are well cared for, can go to school and are protected from violence. One part of the Dürr Group’s donation will be used for an educational program for girls in India, who will receive targeted support in acquiring science-related and digital skills through gender-equitable teaching in order to pave their way into technical professions. With the other part, support will continue for a project in which families in rural Vietnam gain access to clean drinking water through solar-powered water supply systems.
About Aktion Mensch
For over 60 years, Aktion Mensch has been committed to an inclusive society, where people with and without disabilities live together as a matter of course. At the heart of the charitable organization is a social lottery that has already distributed more than five billion euros to social projects throughout Germany.
About the “Aktion Weihnachten” Christmas campaign
