goals4kids e.V. – a nonprofit association: sustainable social responsibility

For quite some time now, AGO AG is committed to social projects on local and regional level. Within the Company, a lot of emphasis is placed on social responsibility – its reflection in the daily activities of all employees, but also its bridges to the life outside. Besides the protection of the environment, social engagement is an integral authentic part and inextricably linked with AGO’s corporate philosophy.

The nonprofit association goals4kids was founded at the Company’s request to extend its social commitment beyond regional limits.

In this way, social concerns can be anchored in the young subsidiary in South Africa on one hand, and further strengthened and sustainably marked in Germany on the other.

About goals4kids

goals4kids is a nonprofit association and aims at giving future-oriented perspectives to children from socially disadvantaged families in Germany and South Africa and supporting them in their education and training. Only a well-funded education and training can enable future generations to solve problems of their individual countries and to safeguard their future. The main concern here is that children should receive the necessary tools at hand to build up or to strengthen their individual country. A good school education is only one step into that direction – activities like sports, culture, arts or others are suitable methods to help children out of the social isolation and lead them on to new pathways. Team spirit, self-esteem or commitment are just some examples of what those activities could trigger. A decisive factor for a change in course could be, e.g., a well-kept soccer field or the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument.
