Life is tough in Goemuergen in Turkey’s interior, where hardly anything grows, and surviving is made even more difficult by erosion and floods. But Oemer Sdiguezel, Henkel employee in Duesseldorf (Germany), founded together with friends an aid association in Germany – Hilfswerk Goemuergen e.V. – dedicated to halting the desertification process and reforesting the landscape.
As a first step in this re-greening process, the association members including several Henkel employees assisted by local helpers put 1,000 fence posts in place to fence off an area of 180,000 square meters in autumn 2009 to protect it from the ravenous appetites of the large sheep, cattle and goat herds. In April 2010, they plan to plant several hundred young trees.
