About the Foundation
The Regine Sixt Children’s Aid Foundation DRYING LITTLE TEARS supports projects in four areas: education, health, welfare, and emergency aid.
The children's charity was founded in 2000 by Regine Sixt as Regine Sixt Kinderhilfe e.V. in Pullach, Germany. In 2011, it was converted into a non-profit foundation under civil law.
Regine Sixt named her foundation DRYING LITTLE TEARS because of a multitude of events in which she was able to provide helpful support. It began with the help of Chernobyl children suffering from leukaemia. This was followed by projects in Gabon, Ecuador, Tanzania and South Africa.
Today, the foundation is the official Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program of SIXT SE and an integral part of the company’s culture. It is supported voluntarily by SIXT employees in corporate and franchise countries across 110 countries.
SIXT employees worldwide are involved in DRYING LITTLE TEARS and are committed to a wide variety of projects at all sites. By creating a DRYING LITTLE TEARS Day, the company gives its employees the opportunity to spend an entire day for the children once a year.
As a result, the Regine Sixt Children’s Aid Foundation has supported more than 440 projects in over 70 countries.
