The First Key Step Towards More Independence:
from the street back into working life.
 |
The association “Förderer der Straßensozialarbeit e.V.“ (literally Supporters of Street Social Work) look after people who have no home or are threatened with losing their home. Often these people do not even have a guaranteed supply of basic necessities. The staff of the Supporters of Street Social Work Association provide a comprehensive range of service for all those in need of help: they provide a kitchen facility (serving breakfast and lunch), second-hand clothing bank, medical emergency care and assistance to young people and adults with job applications.
They also place people in work who have managed to overcome their hardship and are looking for meaningful employment. Usually they do not have complete application documentation nor the ability to present themselves confidently at an interview. With the backing of the Auerbach Foundation, this project can continue with certainty and staff can be taken on to help those needing support to return to living independently.
About the Auerbach Foundation
The aim of the Auerbach Foundation is to provide help and support for people on a lasting basis.
To be able to grasp a situation we first have to understand it. And with this understanding we can, within the scope of our project funding, provide an impetus, and that is the first step in helping people to help themselves.
With its charitable and social donations the Auerbach Foundation minimises financial, spiritual, mental and physical hardship. It also seeks to create avenues for art, culture and science and, in doing so, to safeguard values, such as security and creativity.
In concrete terms this means:
- Funding people:
youth aid, aid for the old, aid for the disabled, development aid
- Funding education and socialisation
- Funding science and research
- Funding art and culture
The Auerbach Foundation was founded in 2005 by the Avira GmbH partner, Tjark Auerbach and finances its projects from donations.
Anyone buying the software Avira AntiVir Premium or Avira Premium Security Suite in the Avira online shop, makes a contribution of five euros per product to the Foundation projects.
In 2008 a total of approximately € 800,000 will go to benefit social and cultural projects.
