Being at home together – help for the homeless in Hamburg

EDP and IT play a key role in business and society because they can simplify, accelerate and secure many processes and actions. Conversely, we can only develop freely in a free, safe, fair and socially just environment. That's why we at ADventas want to think beyond the day and live up to our responsibility.

ADventas is committed to achieving the 17 global goals for a better future, as laid out by the international community of the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda. The objective of this agenda is to enable people around the world to live in dignity and at the same time to preserve the natural foundations of life in the long term.This includes economical, ecological and social aspects (https://unric.org/en/sdg-1/).

The first goal of the 2030 Agenda is the fight against poverty. Poverty is more than a lack of income or funds. It is often the lack of protection of one's own four walls that makes a dignified life impossible. In Hamburg, about 2000 people are homeless and another 45,125 people (survey by the city of Hamburg, 2023) live without their own home. ADventas is committed in various ways to mitigate this situation somewhat. Like our CEO Peter Langner who, as a member of the non-denominational free church ICF, regularly visits homeless people for a Sunday breakfast, a good cup of coffee and a friendly conversation. In addition, ADventas supports "Hinz&Kunzt", Germany's highest-circulation street magazine with a focus on social policy, Hamburg topics and culture. The magazine is made by professionals and sold by 500 homeless, shelterless, ex-homeless people and people in precarious situations on the street (https://www.hinzundkunzt.de).

Suggestions for collaboration and support are always welcome!
