´Hellmann helps´ supports voluntary engagement
Osnabrueck, December 5, 2024. In the coming year, the non-profit organization Hellmann helps will support 14 social and ecological projects worldwide with a total of around EUR 80.000. These initiatives were selected as part of the "Hellmann helps - For the better" competition, where Hellmann employees were invited to submit project ideas in which they could volunteer and have a positive impact on our environment. The competition was a great success: a total of almost 40 project ideas were submitted from all over the world, many of them in collaboration with local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs).
The winners cover a wide range of topics, from the renovation of a school library in Cambodia to the purchase of school materials and food supplies for children in Sri Lanka to training courses for women from ethnic minorities in Costa Rica to enable them to enter the job market. In Germany, young refugees from war and crisis zones are to be supported in order to help them deal with their traumatic experiences. Hellmann helps also finances tree planting campaigns in Atlanta and Mexico as part of the ideas competition, as well as the renaturation of marshes in Germany in order to make a contribution to climate protection.
“We are impressed by the number and quality of the ideas submitted. This shows once again how many committed people there are in the Hellmann FAMILY and beyond who are involved on a voluntary basis and thus make an important contribution to our shared vision “For the better. Together”. A big thank you to all participants for their great approaches and initiatives. We are very pleased to support the commitment of our colleagues and to make their ideas for a better world a reality,” says Martin Eberle, Chairman of the Board of the Hellmann helps e.V. association.
