SubWays,
the way to work without drugs.
 |
“SubWays“ helps long-term unemployed people with a drug problem who are aiming for vocational rehabilitation. The Way to work is made possible by drug substitution. The first step is for the participant to have his or her addiction medically treated and to opt for a life without drugs on a long-term basis. With individual methods of treatment the participants are supported in their decision, thus forming a sound basis for the integration into working life.
“SubWays“ is a cooperation project between Arbeit Remscheid gGmbH and the Diakonisches Werk, the welfare association of the Protestant church in Germany. Over a period of 12 months the project enables 15 participants to acquire an individual and functional basic qualification. This includes job application training, computer training, practical internships, help in looking for a job and follow-up work once a job has been found. The Auerbach Foundation has contributed to ensuring this project will run over a period of 12 months.
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.
