Current FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGNS
Technology that enables participation
Our donation to Mäuse für Ältere helps people with small pensions to find work - for more participation and enjoyment of life.
One click that changes lives: With a digital job platform and counselling, Mäuse für Ältere e.V. helps people with low pensions to find work and thus continue to lead a self-determined life. Thanks to our donation, the organisation can keep its technology up to date in order to continue its work effectively.
Our donation gives older people access to the digital world of work.
Enabling social advancement
With our donation to ArbeiterKind.de, we help young people from non-academic families find their way to university.
A degree can change everything – if you have the courage to take the plunge. With our donation to ArbeiterKind.de, we ensure greater educational equity by encouraging young people from non-academic families to pursue a degree and supporting them in their everyday university life.
Enabling social advancement: Hays supports ArbeiterKind.de
Vacation camps for children in need
Hays supports the ferienpat*in project to enable children from low-income families to take part in a vacation camp.
Summer, sun, beach - this motto does not apply to all children during the summer vacations. That's why we made a donation to support the ferienpat*in project run by the Stadtjugendrings Mannheim e.V. youth organization. It enables children and young people from low-income families to take part in a vacation camp where they not only gain new experiences, but also experience self-efficacy and social participation.

Psychotherapeutic help for young people in acute need
With a financial donation, we are supporting the youth agency in Heidelberg in creating a new service for young people in psychological distress.
In times of multiple crises, the number of mentally ill young people is also on the rise. The result: long waiting times in psychotherapeutic facilities. With our help, the youth agency has created a new position to help affected young people: A social education worker with therapeutic training stabilizes young people in acute psychological distress and helps them prepare for the transition to therapy.

Art and music therapy for children suffering from cancer

Since 2017, we have been funding two part-time positions for art and music therapy at the University Hospital Mannheim. In this way, we support the „Aktion für krebskranke Kinder“ (Campaign for Children with Cancer) organized by the German Leukaemia Research Aid. The therapy helps sick children to deal with traumatic experiences and to mobilise their self-healing powers. In this way, it increases the chances of a "healthy" reintegration.
