Siegwerk will continue its multi-project approach with its Lighthouse Projects

Guatemala

Siegwerk will continue its multi-project approach with its Lighthouse Projects. The joint focus of our partnership approach continues to be on the mentoring initiative - YouthCan! with a focus on Circular Economy projects.

With our annual donation Siegwerk is supporting four projects in:

  • Argentina
  • Brazil
  • Guatemala
  • India

In all four countries, a relationship has been successfully established between Siegwerk’s local entity and SOS Children’s Villages. Both partners are closely connected to help vulnerable young people to successfully transition to the working world.

While the main focus is on mentoring, Siegwerk’s strategy of providing innovative solutions for a Circular Economy will play a big role in future work with SOS Children’s Villages. Preparing young people for changing environments and other challenges in life, sustainability awareness will play a central role in the training sessions. This also complements the SOS initiative "Climate Protection is Child Protection" perfectly.

Siegwerk Guatemala builds on the success of its YouthCan! activities with more in-person sessions this year

Throughout the global pandemic it was difficult to conduct face-to-face exercises. New interactive in-person workshops where young adults get to visit our facilities, see the process of the ink manufacturing and learn more about our industry are the focus for this year. This has been supported by two months of virtual training  sessions covering such topics as vocational orientation, working in the industry and ink manufacturing.

Whether virtual or in person, the workshops and one-to-one mentoring sessions provided by Siegwerk Guatemala employees has made a big impact on preparing underprivileged youths as they start to join the competitive job market.
