Vorwerk Family Fund



Our Commitment / Vorwerk Family Fund  

Help for families and children in need


We want to play a part in ensuring that children all over the world can grow up in the care of a family. This is why we created the Vorwerk Family Fund to collect donations worldwide. Vorwerk employees, sales advisers and the Executive Board have shown their commitment to this cause by raising funds since 2003 totalling €945,000. This money went towards building three houses in the SOS Children’s Village in Hyderabad and two houses in the SOS Children’s Village Moín in Costa Rica. Moreover, we were able to provide support for the children living in Vorwerk houses in Hyderabad up until the end of 2005. Since the beginning of 2006, the village has financed itself – mostly through local donations.

To mark its 125th anniversary in 2008 Vorwerk decided to build an SOS Children's Village in Quy Nhon, Vietnam. The foundation stone was laid in November 2009. An SOS Children's Village and a number of additional facilities are to be built on a plot of land some 448,000m² in area.
