The foundation "Lebenshilfe" Margot und Roland Kamm
Reasons for the foundation "Lebenshilfe"
We belong to the generation who can remember from own experience care packets and the provision of pupils' meals after the Second World War.That's why we want to help today where similar or worse conditions reign.
We are convinced that the future of our society will be determined by the children of today.
The healthier this part of society is, the better our world will develop in the future.
We want to convey christian values - which have been proven for 2000 years - helping people to help themselves.
Who are the benefactors Roland Kamm and Margot Kamm?
Roland Kamm:

n 1972 Roland Kamm was appointed to the executive board. In 1974 Kamm heard about the "Theory of constraints" (Energo-Kybernetic System), which was to form the basis for a period of uninterrupted growth.
In 1974, Kärcher had 350 employees, 12 million € turnover and an annual production of 6.000 units.
When Roland Kamm retires in 2001, he, and the company Kärcher, can look back on a successful period of business growth.
