In the fight against child poverty in Germany, "Die Arche" is particularly committed to children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. The association was founded on the initiative of Pastor Bernd Siggelkow in 1995 in Berlin-Hellersdorf. There are now around 27 locations throughout Germany, reaching more than 4,500 children and young people.

“Die Arche” sees it as its task to draw public attention to social grievances in our society and to campaign on a broad level for a lasting improvement in the living conditions of disadvantaged children and families in our country.

The work with children, young people and families comprises six basic principles: LEISURE - meaningful leisure activities, EATING - free meals, LEARNING - effective educational support, FRIENDS - sustainable relationship work, HOLIDAYS - eventful vacation camps, FAMILY - help and advice for parents.

About the Aroundtown Foundation

Aroundtown SA, one of the leading European real estate companies, is aware of its social responsibility and therefore founded the Aroundtown Foundation in 2018.

Help locally - on site. In particular, projects are selected that are in close proximity to Aroundtown’s properties. The funds are used to provide direct and targeted support to facilities and institutions on site and at the same time strengthen the local network.

The Aroundtown Foundation wants to use its financial means to support projects for children and youths as well as for elderly and elderly care, for art and culture, with educational institutions, sports offers and charitable purposes.
