A successful collaboration since 2017
help alliance is the central pillar of the Lufthansa Group's social commitment. The cooperation between Edelweiss and help alliance dates back to 2017, and these five exciting years were marked by a trusting collaboration for a good cause. Edelweiss recognized early on that social commitment is more than just fine words: Be it through proactive fundraising on board (even during the pandemic) or further innovative fundraising for help alliance's worldwide projects.
Not only in the air, but also on the ground, there have been exciting activities in recent years, such as volunteer work by Edelweiss employees in help alliance projects in Costa Rica, Vietnam or Sri Lanka. All projects are based on the strict standards of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and in particular on the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) "Quality Education" (SDG 4) and "Decent Work and Economic Growth" (SDG 8). All projects are financed exclusively through donations.
What we have achieved together so far
Since 2017, thanks to the generosity of our guests, we have been able to collect a total of 1,025 kg of leftover money, which corresponds to a value of almost CHF 250,000. These funds were used 100% for the benefit of the projects.
- iThemba: With the support of Edelweiss and help alliance, new school buildings were added to the iThemba school in Cape Town. This means that the school can now offer more than 1,000 children a high-quality education in the long term.
- Sri Lanka: Thanks to Edelweiss' support, the kindergarten in Tangalle, which was destroyed by the tsunami disaster in 2004, was completely rebuilt. The new kindergarten offers 220 children a place to learn again.
- Thailand: The Learning Centre in Pattaya, supported by help alliance and Edelweiss, offers children of migrant workers a safe place to learn, protecting them from the dangers of human trafficking and crime.
Our help alliance aircraft painting
The many great campaigns by Edelweiss for help alliance show that social commitment has also become an integral part of aviation. We are therefore taking this intensive cooperation as an opportunity to celebrate this five-year friendship with a very special campaign: with our own help alliance aircraft. In this way, the social commitment of Edelweiss, its employees and above all its customers will become even more visible and will be carried to our holiday destinations with an individual touch.
