proWIN Foundation donates 190,000 euros for children's aid projects

On 9 July, the proWIN Foundation presented a total of 190,000 euros to 18 different aid organisations for children and young people in need at a handover ceremony in Reden. Their respective projects were presented in the presence of politicians and the press.
The range of humanitarian efforts was demonstrated on this day. The sponsored projects have different approaches, but all pursue the same goal: to support affected children and young people.
Gabi Winter, curator of the proWIN Foundation, on the reasons behind her commitment: "There are circumstances in life that have a significant impact on children's future prospects, often in a tragic way. These can be caused by violence, illness, war and social disadvantage. It is important to us to support affected girls and boys, whether directly on our doorstep or abroad. Because we know from our many years of work: Child distress is not only multifaceted, but also unbound by nationality."
