*PRESS RELEASE*
R. STAHL and R. STAHL for Charity e.V. support children in the region and
worldwide with a total of EUR 85,000
Waldenburg, 6 March 2019 - R. STAHL and the non-profit association R. STAHL
for Charity e.V., founded by the company in 2014, supported five regional
and international organisations and projects, which help children in need,
with donations last year. A total of EUR 85,000 was donated. EUR 20,000 each
went to the association Lichtblick-TAK e.V. based in Künzelsau and
Heilbronn, as well as the international organizations SOS Kinderdorf, Plan
International and Operndorf Afrika, another EUR 5,000 to the
Albert-Schweitzer-Kinderdorf in Waldenburg.
The two Executive Board members of R. STAHL, Dr. Mathias Hallmann and Volker
Walprecht, presented the donation cheque in the amount of EUR 20,000 to
Hannelore Weber of Lichtblick-TAK e.V. at R. STAHL's corporate headquarters
in Waldenburg last week. "Children and families need special support from
society. We see it as part of our corporate responsibility to make a
contribution - regionally and globally," said Dr. Hallmann at the handover.
Lichtblick-TAK e.V. offers support for children, teenagers and young adults
in coping with bereavements in the family. "We help young people and their
families in Künzelsau-Gaisbach and Heilbronn to find new strength,
orientation and confidence in their lives. We are very pleased about the
great appreciation of our work, which R. STAHL expresses with its generous
donation", said Hannelore Weber. In 2008, the association received the
honorary award of the state of Baden-Württemberg for its work.
The Albert Schweitzer Kinderdorf in Waldenburg, which is supported with EUR
5,000, is an international, non-denominational and non-partisan association
that feels particularly attached to the ideas and ethics of Albert
Schweitzer and respects the personality and individual character of
children. The donation will be used to finance an urgently needed minibus.
The SOS Kinderdörfer (SOS Children's Villages), which are present in all
parts of the world, offer children whose biological parents cannot look
after them the opportunity to grow up in a family environment. In 2017,
there were a total of 2,740 SOS facilities worldwide, in which more than 81
thousand children lived. These projects are run and financed by a network of
over 130 SOS associations.
Plan International is committed to a world in which children can develop
freely and in which children are treated with dignity and respect,
regardless of origin, religion or political situation. With the donation the
two projects "Education for children in Malawi" and
"Vocational training for young people in Sudan" are supported.
The Operndorf Afrika (Opera Village Africa) is an international art project
that has been under way in Burkina Faso/Westafrica since 2009 and goes back
to the idea of the German artist Christoph Schlingensief. Since 2011, the
project has been under the patronage of former Federal President Horst
Köhler. With the Opera Village Africa, a place of international encounter
has been created, where people of different origins can work artistically
and exchange ideas about art.
