Fundraising campaign for the Ukraine
WIKA would like to help these people and therefore started a fundraising campaign. During เกจวัดแรงดัน , employees around the world collected about ? 80,000 of aid funding that your company topped up to total of ? 150,000. Section of this amount has already been donated to various regional aid organisations:
Aid organisations
? 5,000 to Caritas Erlenbach for the neighborhood support of refugees from the Ukraine
? 20,000 to the Bavarian Red Cross, i.e. to its regional association in Miltenberg-Obernburg for its emergency aid support for the Ukraine
? 20,000 to the low Franconia regional association of the AWO (Arbeiterwohlfahrt, a national workers? welfare association) for its central aid project ?MEDI-HILFE UKRAINE?
The remaining the main donation has been set aside to support people returning to the Ukraine and for reconstruction work.
Accommodation of refugees
Following a arrival of the first refugees in Germany, WIKA contacted the Miltenberg and provided a building in Plant 2 in Klingenberg am Main as emergency accommodation. This has bedrooms and sanitary facilities in addition to a large communal kitchen with two banks of kitchen equipment and a leisure room.
The initial group soon arrived in this accommodation through an initiative of the Lions Club and CEO Alexander Wiegand. A second group with mostly women and children were placed directly through the the ?WIKA Casino?.
To give the refugees a particular degree of mobility, WIKA also provided various sizes of e-bike for them to use. The local bicycle shop, ?Fahrrad Mertens? in Obernburg, got involved with this by helping to measure people up for the proper bike, by giving personal instruction in how to use them and by giving everyone a free helmet.
