Humanitarian aid organisation more than ever depends on support this year

 

This year, the dental manufacturer VOCO is once again foregoing Christmas presents for customers and partners and providing support where help is needed instead: The Dentalists for the second time are partner of the initiative “Corporate Christmas Giving” and donate again 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 are very pleased to contribute the progress and development of projects”, says Olaf Sauerbier, Managing Director of VOCO.

 

“VOCO’s donation is a great support – especially this year”, says Christian Katzer, Managing Director of Doctors Without Borders Germany. “Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we had to adjust and are adjusting our projects worldwide: rebuilding waiting areas, purchase protective clothing, train personnel and much more. We have also started many new projects to support people in more than 70 countries in the fight against the Coronavirus. We thank you very much for the generous donation.”

 

Further social engagement

Besides the donation to Doctors Without Borders VOCO throughout the year 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.
