MinA ensures that young mothers get a good vocational training.
 |
Youth welfare career services are, alone from the line of work and structures, often only geared towards young men. There are hardly any facilities for young mothers looking for a job or a training position. Mothers under the age of 25 need special help in gaining a foothold in the working world. Without day care facilities for the children these young women are not able to partake in vocational training or become integrated in social life. The aim of MinA (= mothers in vocational training) is to create training positions for young mothers in a vocational school for child care and combine this with placements in municipal crèches.
This way the child-rearing skills of the young mothers are enhanced providing a combination of education and parenting. On the one hand, the young mothers are able to complete their education, and on the other hand the mother-child bonding is enhanced by improved parenting abilities. In the long term such support gives young families much better prospects for their future in their own background and in society as a whole. The Auerbach Foundation supports young mothers in finding their feet in working life and thus securing their financial independence.
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.
