Social Engagement

Since 2013, Wibu-Systems has been supporting nph Kinderhilfe Lateinamerika e.V., an international children’s charity dedicated to protecting children in need. Wibu-Systems initially committed to supporting “Pasos Pequeñitos” in Honduras. The daycare center enables single mothers to pursue work or training in the disenfranchised communities of the country’s capital Tegucigalpa, safe in the knowledge that their children are secure and looked after with loving care.

Wibu-Systems has remained a loyal supporter of “Pasos Pequeñitos” over the years but continued to expand its support to other initiatives and countries served by nph. Special occasions were always a welcome opportunity (such as Christmas gifts for nph children in 2015 and 2017), but Wibu-Systems has also been committed to following its principles of sustainable and lasting protection and security also in its social efforts with nph. In 2016, this led to the installation of a source for safe water for a Haitian primary school; in 2017, Wibu-Systems decided to focus on emergency relief for natural disasters (Mexican earthquake victims) and health challenges (a children’s cancer ward in Haiti). In 2018, Wibu-Systems erected a boundary wall for the nph girls’ high school in Guatemala and improved the IT infrastructure in Bolivia. Since 2020, Wibu-Systems has been supporting a school construction project in Haiti. With the successful opening of the supported school in October 2022, Wibu-Systems will continue to back up the work of nph in Haiti. This time, the leading pediatric hospital will be supported in reducing child mortality and fighting malnutrition.

A little can go a long way: Wibu-Systems believes in the power of technology and innovative thinking to solve many of the challenges we face in today’s world, and this is expressed perfectly in the work of the Tiny Houses Association of Karlsruhe. The Association was formed in 2018 to explore the potential of ecologically and socially sustainable tiny house designs for making the urban space more eco-friendly, equitable, and inclusive. With a tiny house designed by our friends at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the Association is putting its vision into practice and showing the world why small and simple often beats big and complex – a principle we can subscribe to at Wibu-Systems.
