This year, we would once again like to make a difference with our Christmas donation and support social projects in our neighborhood.
Back in the summer, we took part in the Nuremberg Volunteer Day “In Action” at the AWO Kreisverband Nürnberg e.V. We renovated rooms, painted walls, and transformed a lounge area into a real feel-good space with a colorful mural. In doing so, we experienced firsthand how much passion and professionalism the AWO team puts into supporting families every day. These encounters made a lasting impression on us – and strengthened our desire to support this commitment with our Christmas donation.
With our donation, we want to help ensure that the important work of the AWO can continue. Especially now, when many municipalities are under financial pressure and social services are often under scrutiny.
Parenting programs such as HIPPY are invaluable
Through the AWO Kreisverband Nürnberg e.V., parents receive materials and support so that they can playfully encourage their preschool-aged children at home. With stories, games, and learning activities, HIPPY not only strengthens children's cognitive and linguistic development, but also the parent-child relationship, and prepares children well for starting school.
What is particularly valuable is that the services are delivered exactly where they are needed: to families with a migration background or families that are otherwise difficult to reach.
They receive support with parenting issues and encouragement to actively accompany their children on their journey. Through low-threshold services, practical tips, and personal support, the programs create places for exchange and guidance - especially for families who otherwise have little access to such services.
We are delighted that our donation to AWO Nuremberg is helping families. Together, we can contribute to greater equality of opportunity and educational justice.
