combit Software Donates 12,500 Euros for On-Location Aid to Refugees

Konstanz – The current refugee situation calls for rapid and unbureaucratic as-sistance. That is why the Konstanz-based software company combit has decided to support the work of the save-me group Konstanz. combit employees have donated their working hours as part of a spontaneous campaign. This was converted into a sum of money and doubled by management, so that a total of 12,500 euros has now been gathered. For over two years, the save-me group Konstanz has been dedicated to welcoming refugees on location and helping them to build a self-determined life in dignity and security.

"combit can identify one hundred percent with these goals," say combit founders and share-holders Christiane Kördel and Peter Magulski. "Just looking on and hoping that things will take care of themselves is neither our ideology nor that of our employees. That is why we have decided to support the work of the save-me group Konstanz.” The software manufacturer regularly donates to good causes. Never before, however, have they raised such a high sum for a single charity project. This demonstrates how important it is to combit to support the re-fugees.

The money donated will be used to finance projects that help the refugees with the organizati-on of their everyday life in completely new surroundings. Among other things, childcare and homework assistance services are being offered in the accommodations. German courses for adults are offered four times a week at various levels. A coffee gathering serves as a meeting place for sponsors and refugees. save-me is even actively helping people find hou-sing. The procurement of bicycles also ensures that the refugees in Konstanz are mobile. "Nearly 200 young men of different nationalities have, for example, been housed in the gym-nasium of the Zeppelin School in Konstanz, and we urgently wish to offer them activities and support. combit’s generous donation is helping us considerably," says Marion Mallmann-Biehler, chairperson of save-me Konstanz.

About the Konstanz save-me Group:

The local save-me group has been promoting the implementation of the campaign objectives in Konstanz since the beginning of 2013. They have established structures for the placement of sponsors who provide guidance and support to the refugees in their daily lives. save-me has also networked with other support groups to organize informational events and campaigns for refugee and migration policy. The aim of this organization is the sound resettlement of re-fugees in Germany. The objectives of save-me are also supported by the mayor, the local council and the Integration Commissioner of the city of Konstanz.
