Update: Since 2022, Rapunzel donates the HAND IN HAND donation (previously HAND IN HAND Fund) to the RAPUNZEL One World Organic Foundation.
In 2005, we sponsored 13 projects with more than 44,000 EUR in the countries of origin of our HAND IN HAND raw materials.
The project of the Dhamma Vijaya Community Development Foundation in Sri Lanka was supported with the proceeds from the Rapunzel Festival. Aid money for the reconstruction following the Tsunami in Sri Lanka was equally financed by employee donations and by Rapunzel.
The donations went to the following projects:
