Würth donates 400,000 euros: Strengthening child protection in Ecuador!

Künzelsau, Deutschland - The Würth Group from Künzelsau once again shows its commitment to society and has recently donated 400,000 euros to Unicef. This generous support takes place as part of the global campaign, the RW Workout Week, and is to be used specifically for the structure and expansion of integrated child protection centers in Ecuador. Bettina Würth, member of the foundation supervisory board, personally presented the donation to Georg Graf Waldersee, CEO of Unicef ​​Germany, and Christian Schneider, Managing Director of the Organization. This gift is an important step to offer children and adolescents in Ecuador safe retreats, tells voice.

The situation in Ecuador is alarming: the increase in the killing offices of minors has reached 770 percent since 2019. This violent reality is bothering many young people who suffer from psychological stress, exploitation and constant lack of perspective. The protective devices that are to be created by the financial support of Würth not only offer children and adolescents a protected space for playing and learning, they also help to process traumatic experiences and to receive access to medical and psychosocial care, explains Würth News.

a strong sign for child protection

Again and again it becomes clear that violence against children is a global problem. It is estimated that around one billion children experience violence every year. The consequences can be catastrophic and massively affect the mental health of those affected. Girls in particular are often at risk, from abuse and discrimination. Unicef's vision is a world in which all children can grow up free of violence and exploitation. The support of the Würth Group contributes to a hopeful future for many affected children, such as unicef.

This step is not only financial aid, but also a thrust of consciousness for the challenges with which many children are faced. With the RW Workout Week, which has been promoting cooperation between the office and sales for 35 years, more than 16,000 employees worldwide take part in this valuable project. The Würth Group is not only successful in business, but also shows that social responsibility is very popular and shows a good knack for charity.

In the current situation, it is crucial that companies like the Würth group take responsibility and actively contribute to improving the living conditions of children in need. Because many young people are still affected by uncertainty and violence - a fact that should all affect us.
