Saving and finance line: Less Handicap

The Bozner social association HandiCar” was founded by people with a handicap, who wanted to share their experiences with other handicapped people, in order for them to benefit from these experiences. The mission of “HandiCar” is to relieve the life of people with a handicap. They are producing technical salvage all around mobility, as well as improving the interpersonal relationships between: the person concerned, relatives and fellow human beings.

Improving the mobility

Through the Ethical Banking economizers, aiding people with a Handicap can be extended and their financial situation can be secured. The collected economizers are given to the social association, so that we can pre-finance different kinds of services or so that they can buy different kinds of handicapped accessible equipment. By investing money in this cause, you can improve people’s lives.

We were able to collect savings over 1.3 million € (30.06.2021) for Less Handicap. With the economizers, we are financing the services of this social association, as well as the investment credits for people with a handicap at the moment. We are financing these to an interest loan of 0,629%.

New project partners with the “Arche im Kvw”

Since april 2015 we have the partner “Arche im Kvw”, in the area of “Less Handicap”. The “Arche im Kvw” is an organization, which gives seniors support credits, so that they can build barriers in their domestic environment.
The approach to the support credit is very unbureaucratic: The person concerned turns to Ethical Banking or the “Arche im Kvw”. A detailed counseling about the planed project finds place. After that the expert of the “Arche im Kvw” (Mr. Öhrig) sends a letter of recommendation to Ethical Banking. This is checked by us and if it gets a positive judgment, it is sent to one of our 23 Raiffeisen partner banks. The local customer consultant and the credit receiver then establish a credit application together.
