round table against hidden poverty in Bavaria

The topic of poverty is currently attracting great attention, especially in Bavaria, where every sixth over 65-year-old is at risk of poverty. According to Petra Stützle, head of Neu-Ulmer Malteser, women are particularly affected. The darkest side of this hidden poverty is shame to seek help. Projects such as "Neu-Ulm packs" offer a ray of hope by supplying boxes with basic foods in need. These boxes are filled with durable foods, from pasta to canned goods, and take into account individual preferences of the recipients. This month, the project not only brings back food, but also hope, as volunteers find time for discussions with the seniors, such as innovative ideas to improve the life of the elderly affected.
