Wolfgang Rachbauer

I am very happy to be involved in the CEE Charity because it has a real impact in the countries where RBI has partners and network banks. The overhead and administrative costs are minimal as most of the work is done by volunteers. I have great confidence in the Charity's detailed project monitoring, which ensures accountability and effectiveness. In addition, I meet colleagues at the Charity who have the same Raiffeisen spirit and mindset of supporting people who need our help.

Furthermore, it is also possible to contribute without financial means by investing time in project monitoring, informing new employees about the charity and inspiring them for its mission.

The cohesion within the team and our common goal of making a lasting impact is what makes this charity unique. What started as a small idea years ago has grown into a powerful force for positive change and demonstrates the remarkable impact collective action can have.

Working with the CEE Charity allows me to make a meaningful difference and reaffirms my commitment to doing the right thing.

Raiffeisen International and METRO have been reliable partners for many years and have followed similar paths of expansion in Eastern Europe since the fall of communism in recent decades. We have encountered similar social developments. We see a group of very successful people who have mastered the upheavals in Eastern Europe and a group of people who are among the losers of the transformation of society. Making a small contribution to the latter is an important concern for METRO, given the large number of initiatives.

Dr. Herbert Stepic is one of those personalities in Austria who builds a bridge of trust between the Austrian economy and its Eastern European partners on his own initiative and as a source of strength at the top. He has never forgotten the weakest members of society, disadvantaged children. The Stepic CEE Charity ultimately acts in the best sense for the future and on the fundamental values of solidarity of Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen, which makes the organization particularly special.

We are particularly impressed by Stepic CEE Charity’s targeted and sustainable approach. With projects in the areas of education, health, and social integration, it brings about direct and lasting changes in people's lives. Through educational programs and health initiatives, the charity fosters the potential of children and adolescents and offers them a perspective for a self-determined life.

We are proud to be part of this significant mission through our financial support.
