Together for education
HIRSCH Servo Group supports learning café in St. Veit

Since not all children can manage school without support and parents often lack the funds for private tuition, the Caritas Carinthia Learning Café in St.Veit was opened five years ago with significant support from the HIRSCH Servo Group. Since then, the Glanegg-based company, which operates 35 production sites across eleven European countries and employs around 1.800 people, has continued to support the educational institution – this year alone with a donation of € 10,000.

A long-standing partnership

HIRSCH Servo CEO Wolfgang Landler explains: "As a company committed to promoting our region, we wholeheartedly support the Lerncafé in St. Veit. Education is the cornerstone of equal opportunities and a strong future. By supporting this institution, we are investing not only in the individual development of young people, but also in the social strength and future viability of our region."

Far more than just tutoring

At the learning café on Kirchplatz in St. Veit, children and young people aged between six and 15 receive everything they need for their everyday school life under the guidance of qualified social pedagogue Osmana Muranovic, employee Elisabeth Geßelbauer-Granig and 15 dedicated learning assistants: a healthy snack, quiet study times, personal support and people who listen to them and believe in them.

Education as the best way to prevent poverty

Caritas Director Ernst Sandriesser is delighted with the support provided by the HIRSCH Servo Group, which is anything but a matter of course in these economically challenging times. He says: "Socially disadvantaged children who have no one to support them at school need our help. Education is a key factor in children's professional and social development. I would like to thank the HIRSCH Servo Group for its long-standing partnership, trust and invaluable support. Education is the best way to prevent poverty and the best investment in a country's future. We can't leave any child behind."

This is entirely in line with the non-profit HERZ Foundation's mission: to promote education and equal opportunities – because every child represents a future that needs to be nurtured.
