122 RepoRt | KnoRR-BReMSe GRoUp Providing long-term assistance The charitable organization Knorr-Bremse Global Care e. V. was set up by the Knorr-Bremse Group to provide long-term aid to individuals who, through no fault of their own, are victims of environmental catastrophes, accidents, armed conflict, poverty or disease. At the start of 2010, the organization celebrated its fifth anniversary. Since its foundation five years ago it has implemented 50 aid projects in 31 countries on four continents, providing assistance to some 200,000 people. In December 2004 the world witnessed a tragic and shocking event: a tsunami triggered by an earthquake devastated entire coastal areas of Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India as well as many other states in Southeast Asia and East Africa. More than 230,000 people lost their lives. Knorr-Bremse was quick to react, and on January 18, 2005 the charitable organization Knorr-Bremse Global Care e. V. was set up with the aim of providing targeted and effective aid to victims of the disaster. The first projects were launched as early as February, and within a year the organization was supporting no fewer than 13 different programs in the region.
RepoRt 123 A new approach Then as now, the basic approach taken by Knorr-Bremse Global Care e. V. differed from that of other aid organizations. It is not just funding that is provided – volunteers, including members of the company’s management, also act as sponsors for individual projects, monitoring their progress closely. Their input ranges from visits to the regions concerned to collaboration with local partners over drawing up plans for hospitals or schools. Their close involvement with the projects ensures a high degree of commitment to the people at local level. The aim is always to provide sustainable, long-term support and the most important criterion when selecting projects is therefore an emphasis on helping people to help themselves. Project funding is intended as an investment in an economically independent future for the people concerned. Expansion of activities In 2006, Global Care expanded its activities to include Africa, where it funded a number of school projects in a bid to help improve the often catastrophic situation of education in that part of the world. Since 2007, Knorr-Bremse sites around the world have also become increasingly involved in projects – around half of Global Care projects now benefit from the involvement of local Knorr-Bremse employees. 2008 and 2009 saw the organization continue its work in these two regions and also become involved in Central America. Other areas of focus were emergency aid and reconstruction projects in the aftermath of the cyclone in Burma, the earthquake in the Chinese province of Sichuan and the cholera epidemic in Zimbabwe. At the same time, Global Care intensified its involvement in educational projects. The basic emphasis is on long-term projects that enable people to support themselves and determine their own lives. In 2010 a total of 35 projects in 24 countries were funded, with more than EUR 1,100,000 donated and over 65,000 people provided with assistance and support. For example Global Care joined forces with the aid organization Jnana Pradodhini to construct a three-story building with five apartments per floor to house divorced or widowed women in the rural district of Harali, India. Global Care also decided during 2010 to build and equip two learning centers in the Sabeh region of Borneo. A floating classroom was also created for teaching children who live in such remote locations that they cannot otherwise attend school on a daily basis. During the year Knorr-Bremse Global Care e. V. also ran five emergency aid projects in Haiti, Chile, Pakistan, the Czech Republic and Hungary.
