Backpacks for everyone: Kiwanis Club donates 4,000 euros for Solingen school kids!

What a great gesture! The Kiwanis Club Solingen has made it its mission to make going back to school easier for many children in the region. With a generous donation of 4,000 euros, the club supports the Solinger Tafel, which takes care of providing first graders with urgently needed school backpacks. Especially in these challenging times, many families cannot afford the basic equipment needed to start school. Brigitte Funk, the head of the Solinger Tafel, emphasizes the immense importance of this support.

At a time when a sense of community is needed, the Kiwanis Club proves once again that together we can achieve great things. “Starting school is a very special day for the children and their families,” said Kiwanis President Joachim Blümer. Together with club member Stefan Schreiner, they emphasize the need for no child to go away empty-handed when it comes to starting school well prepared.

Strong together for the children

The knapsack campaign is financed through the sale of donated handbags at the popular Solingen Zöppkesmarkt. The proceeds not only go towards equipping the school children, but are also invested in other social projects. This shows that the Kiwanis Club is not just committed to the short term, but is looking for real, sustainable solutions to local challenges. “This clearly demonstrates the importance of local collaboration to help children,” it emphasizes, with Kiwanis values ​​playing a central role.

The organization has a clear goal of making the world a better place, one child and one community at a time. It is precisely this vision that drives the members: all children should grow up in supportive communities. The motto “Serving the children of the world” is not just a slogan, but is brought to life every day. The work of the Kiwanis Club both in Solingen and worldwide follows the desire to place human and spiritual values ​​above material things.

A strong foundation for the future

The collaboration between the Kiwanis Club Solingen and the Solingen Tafel has grown over the years. This partnership not only offers direct access to the resources you need, but also the trust you need to tackle things together. “We have a good knack when it comes to taking action in the interests of the community,” says one of the committed members, who makes it clear how well this effort is being received.

Overall, these efforts show that even in difficult times it is possible to bring about positive changes in society with strong social commitment. The Kiwanis Club demonstrates how local collaboration and solidarity can make a difference for those who need help.
