Brücken bauen in Vietnam, vernachlässigte Hunde pflegen in den USA oder ein Kinderheim ausbauen in Uganda - das Engagement der Henkel-Mitarbeiter und -Pensionäre ist vielfältig. Das zeigen auch die Gewinnerbilder des diesjährigen Fotowettbewerbs der Henkel-Initiative „Miteinander im Team“ (MIT).
Mehr als 100 Fotos aus 20 Ländern reichten Mitarbeiter und Pensionäre beim zwölften MIT-Fotowettbewerb ein. Eines haben alle gemeinsam: Die Bilder zeigen, dass die Freiwilligenarbeit eine unvergessliche Lebenserfahrung sein kann. Beim Fotowettbewerb konnten Mitarbeiter in zwei Kategorien für ihre Favoriten abstimmen. In der Kategorie „Sie in Aktion bei Ihrem MIT-Projekt“ sind engagierte Ehrenamtler zu sehen, die sich mit Herz und Seele für ihre Projekte einsetzen. Die Gewinnerfotos aus der Kategorie „Ihr MIT-Projekt – Emotionen pur“ zeigen einzigartige Momente aus verschiedenen Projekten rund um die Welt. Jedes der auf den Gewinner-Fotos und -Videos dargestellten Projekte erhält eine einmalige Förderung aus der Fritz Henkel Stiftung.
Entdecken Sie in den Bildergalerien die einzigartigen Augenblicke der weltweiten Projekte!

Uganda: Henkel-Mitarbeiterin Gabriele Haak aus Deutschland mit der Mutter eines der Mädchen aus dem „Mirembe Cottage of Street Girls“ in Jinja, Uganda. Diese Unterkunft für junge Frauen, die vernachlässigt oder misshandelt wurden, ist Teil ihres Herzensprojekts „Sonrise Ministries“, für das sich Haak bereits seit vielen Jahren einsetzt.
Uganda: Henkel employee Alcom Chelo from Spain also supports the Sonrise Ministries and visited the project in Uganda for the first time in 2016. The smallest ones captured her heart right away.
Silvia Pellegrini (Henkel Netherlands) also supports the Sonrise Children’s village in Uganda. Together with some colleagues and friends, she visited the village for two weeks in December and brought lots of Christmas presents for the kids such as German sausages which caused a bit of confusion with the children...
Mauricio Sandoval from Henkel Colombia with little Paula from the “Hogar Luz y Vida” foundation. This Colombian foundation serves the community as a shelter for abandoned children with a handicap. One third of the more than 200 kids living here has at least one disability and requires special care. Additionally, some of them were victims of physical violence and were abandoned by their families who could not afford to take care of them. The MIT donation is used to buy wheelchairs with ergonomic features to make the kids’ lives a little easier and happier.
Taiwan: Tom Lo and his colleagues from Henkel in Taiwan are planting “Trees of Hope” together with school kids. These attract insects and butterflies in the summer, and the children can photograph them and use 3D printers to create models that they study in class. The funding of the MIT Initiative is used to modernize the classrooms of the school and provide them with new equipment.
Vietnam: A team from Henkel Vietnam supported the building of a bridge for a local community in the An Giang Province – one of the least developed areas in the country. The new steel bridge offers a safe and convenient way to cross the river, reconnecting the local community to essential infrastructure such as schools, markets and hospitals.

Ukraine: Joy, laughter and other emotional experiences are an integral part of every child’s life no matter what their challenge might be. Alena Kuznetsova from Ukraine supports the local project “Sensory room” that provides professional support and assistance to families which raise kids with down syndrome.
Philippines: John Michael Bustamante and his colleagues from Henkel in Manila supported the project “Dental mission” together with the Philippine Dental Association. Several dentists and volunteers from Henkel treated patients and taught them the basics about oral hygiene. Finally, the Henkel employees provided the Navotas Habitat community’s residents – people who lost their homes through flooding – with almost 1,000 dental kits.
Nigeria: Two-thirds of the Nigerian population lives in absolute poverty, meaning they live on less than one US dollar a day. Many of them were forced to leave their homes. Henkel employee Laura Pujal from Spain supports the organization Oxfam, which provides people in need with emergency shelters and cooking equipment, as well as seeds and tools to help traders and farmers get back on their feet. The MIT initiative donation was used to distribute food, drinking water and hygiene kits.
USA: Robin Kingma and her colleagues from Henkel North America founded the organization Arizona Cattle Dog Rescue in 2010. Their mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and ultimately re-home abandoned, stray and neglected Australian Cattle Dogs throughout the state of Arizona. More than 900 dogs have already been rescued.
