Our Direct Actions
As The Social Purpose IT Company, our purpose is fighting injustice where authorities fail. We do this with Direct Action, without donations but self-financing and with the commitment of our own colleagues. We are committed to using at least 20% of our annual profits for our Direct Actions. For the good cause and where it is needed directly.
We run two Direct Actions: Hemmersbach Rhino Force in South Africa and Hemmersbach Kids' Family in India and Poland.
Hemmersbach Rhino Force
Hemmersbach Rhino Force is our internal Direct Action conservation department protecting one of the most endangered species on earth – rhinos.
We have a three steps approach:
- Our elite troops protect rhinos and other wildlife from poachers in Southern Africa
- We preserve rhino genes in our own biobank Cryovault, to protect African rhinos from extinction
- We support local rural communities and offer them jobs and other alternatives to poaching
Hemmersbach Kids' Family
Hemmersbach Kids' Family is our internal Direct Action child care department that creates a better future for street kids and orphans.
With Hemmersbach Kids' Family, we improve their living conditions and equip children homes with heaters, laundry machines and computers. We give them access to psychological care and better education to prepare them for a bright adulthood.
In Poland, we helped more than 190 foster families and institutions, providing knowledge and material, supporting medical care, and directly involving ourselves into foster care renovations and activities.
In India, we run our own Hemmersbach Kids' Family Home, giving proper living conditions to more than 60 children from challenging backgrounds. Additionally, we operate a container school in one of the slums, and provide children and families living there with drinking water and additional supplies.
