The Diakonie Wuppertal addresses the social challenges "in the valley" and offers encounter, education, advice, support and care for all who need help: strangers, the elderly, the sick, those in need of care, families in need, the unemployed or people facing homelessness.[1] It promotes community building through leisure and district activities, strengthens social cohesion and is present in many parts of the city – closely networked with cooperation partners.[1] Tradition and innovation are combined here: Over the decades, the organization has established itself as a .[2]

The Diakonie promotes public health, youth welfare and religion within the meaning of § 52 AO and is active throughout the city.[8] Employees – the "heart" of the organization – are regularly welcomed and contribute to high satisfaction: ratings highlight strong team spirit (4.0), interesting tasks (4.3), work-life balance (3.9) and environmental/social awareness (3.8).[4][7] In the education sector, it exceeds the average with a kununu score of 3.7.[4]
Although explicit sustainability goals are not detailed in the sources, the high social and environmental awareness (3.8 points) reflects recurring commitment – for example through inclusive structures and public welfare-oriented initiatives.[4] As a traditional player (since 1991 as gGmbH), the Diakonie Wuppertal combines diaconal values with modern professionalism to shape Wuppertal as a vibrant, supportive city.[3][2]
With a passion for people, the Diakonie Wuppertal creates places of hope and participation – for young and old, for everyone.[1] (approx. 2480 characters)
