All over the world, SIXT employees have organized trips for children, planned pre-Christmas campaigns or made generous donations to children's homes.
SIXT Armenia visited the SOS Children's Village Kotay and brought sweets to the children. For some families, they had household appliances such as washing machines and irons with them. In Mexico, SIXT employees spent time with the children of the MAMA A.C. center to build a traditional “altar de muertos”. The SIXT Slovenia team visited the Children's Hospital in Ljubljana to support the Society for Helping Children with Immune Diseases.

In addition to books, a financial contribution was also donated to the hospital library, which can be used for various purposes in the field of correct and timely diagnosis of immune diseases, research and more.
