Brazil

Siegwerk will continue its multi-project approach with its Lighthouse Projects. The joint focus of our partnership approach continues to be on the mentoring initiative - YouthCan! with a focus on Circular Economy projects.

With our annual donation Siegwerk is supporting five projects in:

In all five countries, a relationship has been successfully established between Siegwerk’s local entity and SOS Children’s Villages. Both partners are closely connected to help vulnerable young people to successfully transition to the working world.

While the main focus is on mentoring, Siegwerk’s strategy of providing innovative solutions for a Circular Economy will play a big role in future work with SOS Children’s Villages. Preparing young people for changing environments and other challenges in life, sustainability awareness will play a central role in the training sessions. This also complements the SOS initiative "Climate Protection is Child Protection" perfectly.

In 2023 Brazil became key Lighthouse Project for Siegwerk

Brazil is - demographically speaking - a very young country; with nearly 25 percent of the country's residents younger than 15. Extreme poverty remains widespread in many parts of the country, especially in the northeast and in the country's largest urban centers. It is estimated that five percent of the population lives in extreme poverty.

This is why Siegwerk has increased its corporate giving in Brazil. Since many years Siegwerk Brazil has supported its local SOS Children’s Village. With the added corporate support this year, the new Brazilian Lighthouse project will focus on expanding the partnership to focus more on the YouthCan! mentoring initiative.

This is important in a country whose labor market has deteriorated significantly in recen years. The unemployment rate has risen from under nine percent in 2015 to the current 13 percent. With young people impacted the most as nearly 30 percent of all working age youths are unemployed.
