Sustainable partnerships: Red Cross and local companies promote youth

In Saxen, in the district of Perg, commitment to the youth is very important. The Red Cross and the local economy of our beautiful Waldviertel have been relying on close cooperation for years to offer children and young people a support that goes beyond mere help. These partnerships have now been officially extended, and this is good news for everyone involved.

The Red Cross pursues the important goal of conveying valuable skills to young people who make them active and empathetic members of our society. To do this, initiate numerous programs and actions that take place in both schools and in leisure time. A very special project is the program "Roko can!", Which is offered in kindergartens, where the little ones learn to develop social skills in a playful way. But that's just one of many examples of how the Red Cross works in the early education agency.

The role of regional companies

The four Saxen companies: Gasokol GmbH, Ginthör Landtechnik GmbH, Kreativ-Keramik Peham GmbH and Schlager GmbH are particularly worth mentioning. These companies, together with the Ortner car dealership from Perg and the Donauwell company from Naarn, not only committed themselves to supporting the Red Cross, but also see it as part of their social responsibility.

Many projects could not be realized without these cooperation. They not only enable the implementation of events such as the popular penguincup or the bicycle test, but also contribute to ensuring the Red Cross infrastructure. These activities promote children's social skills in a playful way and make them take responsibility and deal with topics such as a respectful cooperation.

Another important project is "Mission Humanity", which stimulates young people to deal with social and ecological issues in their environment. The participants together develop solutions and learn that everyone can make a difference. These types of programs are crucial for the personal development of young people and promote a strong sense of community.

With these initiatives, the Red Cross in the Perg district shows how important working with young people is and that social responsibility should be anchored in both the living environment of young people and in business. It remains to be hoped that these positive developments will continue to be supported and that the cooperation between the Red Cross and the regional companies will continue to bloom.
