In addition to the development and construction of special machines, HENKEL + ROTH is socially committed and supports numerous projects in the areas of humanitarian aid, education and culture.
This commitment has grown steadily with our own corporate development and is an integral part of our corporate mission statement. We support projects in the immediate vicinity and with a regional focus as well as internationally active aid organizations.
These projects are presented below.
Children's aid organization Global-Care
The children's aid organization Global-Care was founded in 1976 to provide children with the humanitarian aid they need for their development. To enable adults and children in poorer countries to become self-sufficient again, the children's aid organization contributes to the construction of water wells for drinking water supply and the irrigation of fields, the establishment of a workshop for handmade light bulbs and the purchase and operation of a brickworks. There are also concepts that support the cultivation of rice fields and the education of illiterate people. The number of sponsorships now corresponds to the number of our employees.

Open all-day school Franz von Assisi Ilmenau
The overall concept of this school is aimed at guaranteeing the continuous and sustainable personal development of adolescents over at least 10 years according to a uniform pedagogical approach, which is geared towards the development of individual creativity, communal responsibility and ecological action. The acceptance of each child in his or her individuality and originality is the overriding principle of the concept. Children with learning and behavioral difficulties may and should also be taught in an integrative manner as far as possible. The focus is not on selection, but on individual support for all children.

christoffel blindenmission
Christoffel-Blindenmission (CBM) is an internationally active Christian organization with the mission of helping blind and otherwise disabled people regardless of nation, gender or religion. It takes its name from its founder, Pastor Ernst Jakob Christoffel, who went to Turkey in 1908 to help disabled children. Preventing and curing blindness is a focus of CBM's work. Last year alone, over twelve million patients were examined, treated and, where necessary, operated on. The most common reason for an operation was cataract: over 600,000 times the cloudy lens was removed in CBM-supported hospitals. Patients can then see again with the help of so-called cataract glasses or an artificial lens.
