With 39 facilities in Germany, SOS Children's Villages offers a comprehensive network of social support to provide children with a safe home in a secure environment. The main aim is to help children grow up in a caring atmosphere and to facilitate their access to education and therapeutic and educational measures that go beyond basic care.

The Aroundtown Foundation actively assumes social responsibility with this donation and is committed to educational institutions and charitable causes. Supporting educational projects for disadvantaged young people is at the heart of the foundation's objectives.
