2020 was a challenge for all of us. The Corona pandemic kept and is keeping us all in suspense. We are truly missing contact with our friends and family members. In addition, there was stress due to closed schools and day care centers, shorter working hours, and even job loss. Neighbors and friends went into quarantine and needed to be supplied. And many of us found working from our home offices for such a long time very difficult, especially without the usual interaction with colleagues.
But while we at valantic have come through the crisis well thanks to our relatively crisis-proof IT focus and the fact that we were already used to working remotely, there were and are many people whose situation is much worse due to the economic and social cuts. We would like to help these people.
As a thank you to our customers and partners and to all helpers, big and small, who have done so much for their fellow humans in the Corona crisis, valantic would like to support several regional and national charitable organizations with Christmas donations with a total value of more than EUR 10.000.
We would like to tell you about a few of these in more detail. But before we do this, curtains up for our christmas wish!
Perhaps you would also like to support one organization or another! Then read more about the organizations that valantic supports with its Christmas donations.
Unfortunately, child poverty is increasing; up to 90 children visit the institution “himmel & ääd” in Cologne’s city center every day. Here, children are provided with a hot meal, they receive help with their homework and specific tutoring in German, math, and English. Vocational preparation is another specialty, as is help when searching for a training or internship position.

Approximately 9,000 seniors live on the poverty line in Düsseldorf – and the trend is rising. Many of them – in addition to possible care services – have to rely on assistance in their everyday lives, for example with cleaning the house, preparing hot meals, handling larger shopping trips or going to the doctor or government offices. However, many seniors can’t get the help they so urgently need – because they can’t pay for it since their pension is insufficient or they have only the guaranteed minimum pension. Notgroschen für Senioren helps needy retirees by providing them with EUR 120 per month for a year, to help them get this help in their everyday lives.

With donated funds and activities, the association Kinder ohne Hunger initiates and supports food projects to make significant changes in daily nutrition. Thanks to the personal engagement of volunteers, they can reach children and youths and their families directly in small, clearly designed projects. The bandwidth of possible support ranges from advising about start-up help to a long-term cooperation. An important principle here is to support and accompany all projects intensively.
