For the second time, VOCO has partnered with the initiative, Corporate Christmas Giving, and donated 20,000 Euro to Doctors Without Borders.
The humanitarian aid organisation is active in around 70 countries worldwide and helps when the national health system is no longer able to help sick and injured people.
“Especially now, help is more urgent than ever before. COVID-19 is particularly devastating for countries that do not have adequate medical care. We thank Doctors Without Borders for their excellent work and we are very pleased to contribute to the progress and development of projects,” said Olaf Sauerbier, managing director of VOCO.
“VOCO’s donation is a great support – especially this year 2020. Due to COVID-19, we are continuously adjusting our projects worldwide such as rebuilding waiting areas, purchasing protective clothing, training personnel and much more,” said Christian Katzer, managing director of Doctors Without Borders, Germany.
He added, “We have also started many new projects to support people in more than 70 countries in the fight against the pandemic. We are really grateful to VOCO for the generous donation.”
Further social engagement
Besides the donation to Doctors Without Borders, throughout the year 2020, VOCO has made several donations for social purposes.
As early as spring, the company supported the county with several hundred litres of disinfectant. In addition, other local organisations such as day care centres, schools, hospice groups or the food bank “Tafel” received help.
