We are happy to help
After devastating catastrophes like the earthquake in Haiti or the tsunami in Eastern Asia, there is great need for immediate aid. Logwin assumes its social responsibility and is helping people in distress.
Logwin and its employees first of all do what they do best: shipping goods. We make our contribution by ensuring safe and quick shipments of life-saving equipment, food and medical supplies to the disaster areas.
Beyond the transport of relief supplies there are further projects initiated by our employees:
Contribution for a school project
Logwin in Italy sponsored a school project held by the African Medical Research Foundation (AMREF) and contributed in re-packaging and transporting two computers, six laptops, one sewing machine and some books from Italy to Nairobi, Kenya. AMREF is an international African organisation headquartered in Nairobi whose vision is "Better Health for Africa". With more than 50 years’ experience in health development, AMREF today is one of the continent’s leading health development and research organisations.
Computers for Tansania
Logwin is contributing to a school project by handling the transportation of ten computers, ten laptops and technical accessories from Germany to Tanzania. The shipment also includes a complete photovoltaic solar system for lasting, ecologically friendly electricity to power the PCs. Students at the Odenwald District Vocational School Centre in Michelstadt, Germany, organized the aid delivery for the School in Tanzania. Students from the Odenwald District will also be taking care of the installation of the equipment themselves: in May they will be travelling to Tanzania.
Aid supply for Haiti
After the earthquake, Logwin has shipped a helicopter as well as 36 pallets of relief supplies such as baby food, dressing material and medical supplies to Haiti. A leading German fundraising organization had asked for Logwin´s support in loading and shipping the goods. Logwin gladly consented in taking over these tasks at no charge and ensured a smooth transportation just into the disaster area.
Employees work extra hours for Haiti
In our Heppenheim branch office, the employees gave aid for Haiti by conducting a special project for one of their customers by nonpaid extra work. The donation for these nonpaid hours were given to the organization “Bensheim hilft” (Bensheim helps). This organization is closely cooperating with the CBM in Port-au-Prince and therefore is able to give direct aid in Haiti.
