SASA Volleyball Team in the Soweto Slum (Kenya)
For us, social responsibility is more than just a word – it’s something we live every day. We are committed to supporting our employees, protecting the environment, and helping to shape a society we all share.
As a sponsor, we support schools, daycare centers, and sports clubs in our region – with a special focus on early music education, language development, and youth sports. This sponsorship is our way of helping young people grow and strengthening social cohesion.
Events like the cultural festival Una Notte Siciliana create opportunities for connection and exchange – and here too, we act as an active sponsor, supporting initiatives that bring people together.
We are also engaged on a national level – for example, through our partnership with the Strahlemann Foundation, which promotes educational equity. For us, responsibility doesn’t end at the factory gate – it starts there.
For many years, we have extended our commitment beyond our region — especially in Africa.
In Soweto, one of the largest slums in Nairobi, we support the Arnold Janssen School for orphaned children. A deep well we funded on the school grounds provides clean drinking water to around 30,000 people — a vital contribution in a region lacking reliable infrastructure.
Another key focus is the Reinha Rosary Health Centre in Githunguri near Nairobi — the only medical facility serving approximately 120,000 people. Here, we specifically promote access to healthcare.
We also care deeply about the SASA volleyball team: through sports and educational support, young girls gain opportunities for participation, education, and a self-determined life — in a region where this is unfortunately not a given.
