Arbeiterwohlfahrt (Workers Welfare) (AWO) is the non-governmental welfare association of the workers movement in Germany.
AWO is active in various areas of social welfare, from daycare centers to youth and disabled facilities to senior centers. The fundamental values of freedom, justice, equality, tolerance and solidarity anchored in the workers' movement embody the history and social-ethical foundation of AWO.[1]
The AWO has nationwide about 300,000 members, 72,000 volunteers and 242,000 full-time employees.[2] according to the organization. The AWO maintains over 18,000 facilities and services in all federal states of Germany.
History
editOn December 13, 1919, Marie Juchacz (1879–1956), who was one of the first women in the National Assembly, founded the AWO as the "Main Committee for Workers' Welfare in the SPD".[3] Reich President Friedrich Ebert described the AWO with the motto “Workers’ welfare is the self-help of the workers.” Initially, AWO tried to alleviate the suffering of those affected by the First World War by setting up sewing rooms, soup kitchens, self-help workshops and advice centers. It later developed into an aid organization for all socially needy people.
