Headquarters ran for schools in the Easter Cape
2024-10-07
At this year's Turmberglauf in Karlsruhe, where the headquarters of the Schwabe Group is located, 14 “Schwabianers” as a part of the Africa Runners team raised donations for five primary schools in the Eastern Cape, Africa. Among the athletes: our CEO Olaf Schwabe!
The team collected 4700 euros. And thanks to the Schwabe Group matching funds, we can support the schools with a contribution of 9400 euros.
The donations will go, among other things, towards correcting some severe structural problems which have developed over the years at all five of the school buildings. In addition, the funds raised will be put towards upgrading educational standards at these schools, especially the fundamentals of teaching children how to read and write.
In addition to the fantastic financial results, our group was also pleased to be honored by the organizer as the team with the highest number of participants.
