Help for flooded areas

In the summer of 2021, Storm Bernd caused major damage in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate. Places like Stolberg were hit extraordinarily hard. The masses of water radically destroyed everything in their path. We feel for the people who lost all their belongings - or were even unable to return to their homes.

In Stolberg, 3 elementary schools and several daycare centers were under water. Many volunteers were already on site, but there was a lack of material to free the buildings from mud and debris.

The Arbeitsring anerkannter Blindenwerkstätten-Schlicht GmbH put together large relief packages consisting of shovels, hoes, brooms, floor cloths, towels and work gloves. We supported the action with 15 aid packages worth 750€.

We thank the workshop for the blind for the great relief action and are very happy that we were able to contribute a part!
