Through our Social Fund, we support charities and meaningful initiatives each quarter with a financial contribution. We are able to do this because all employees set aside a portion of their profit sharing, which is then doubled by management. One of the charities we contributed to this quarter is Warme Gloed.
Purpose of Warme Gloed
Warme Gloed is a non-profit association founded by a group of passionate individuals, driven by their love for a country that has captured their hearts: “The Smiling Coast of Africa”, also known as The Gambia. The main goals of this association are:
- Providing aid to children through education and sports to offer them a future perspective;
- Giving the local population access to healthcare;
- Building basic (infra)structure in cooperation with the local community.
Independence and Future Perspective
These goals must all be framed within a defined time period and structured project. In this way, they aim to help the local people become self-sufficient in addressing their needs, without becoming dependent on aid. "It should not be the goal to give someone fish every time, the goal is to teach people how to fish."
On behalf of the team at Archive-IT, we wish the founders and volunteers the best of luck with all their projects, both now and in the future. Take a look at their website for more information and read more about the projects they are undertaking.
