The Lucky Week Review – We say thank you!

“With our lucky week we want to do good and donate some of our luck for every order.” – Benedikt Klarmann, Founder & Managing Director, Junglück

From November 23rd, 2020 to November 29th, 2020 we had Happiness Week, where we supported a different non-profit organization every day. You completely exceeded our expectations for Happiness Week. You are simply incredible! We would like to thank you for that! Happiness Week showed us how the commitment of each individual can, in sum, take a big step in the right direction.

Together we have created a huge impact:

• 437 weekly rations of food go to the Tiertafel München e. V.
• 1,150 euros in donations were collected for Doctors Against Animal Testing .
• LichtBlick Seniorenhilfe e. V. can take on 50 sponsorships for pensioners in need .
• 100 children are fed with Mary's Meals for one school year.
• 11,565 tons of plastic are removed from the sea with Plastic Free Planet . Calculated in 1.5 liter PET disposable bottles, that's 385,500 (!) bottles.
• 75,283 trees are planted with Eden Projects .
• Donations of 2,295 euros enable People for People to finance almost an entire well in Ethiopia.

A little review of an incredibly great week and our heart projects:

“I am happy with what we were able to make possible with the Happiness Week. A thousand thanks to everyone who helped us.” – Benedikt Klarmann, Founder & Managing Director, Junglück

On Monday, November 23, 2020, we fed pets with the animal table.

Unfortunately, sometimes life is different. For people with pets, financial emergencies quickly lead to the question of whether they can still afford their pet. To prevent this from happening, the Munich Animal Food Bank provides food and material donations. For every Advent calendar sold on this day, we donated a week's ration of food. We were able to collect a total of 437 (!) weeks' rations of food for owners in need. 1,200 kilograms of food are now being delivered to the animal food bank.

On Tuesday, November 24, 2020, we supported Doctors Against Animal Testing.

Since 1979, the association Doctors Against Animal Testing has been campaigning nationwide for research without animal testing. Doctors use lectures and conferences to educate and support the development of alternative testing methods. For us as a young cosmetics brand, this is an important topic that we are committed to. On this day, we had two great campaigns! Our sustainable solid products have finally moved into our online shop and we were able to support the association Doctors Against Animal Testing with a donation of 1,150 euros.

On Wednesday, November 25, 2020, we helped seniors in need.

Poverty in old age is a sad and unfortunately very present issue. For many people who have worked all their lives or, as was common, looked after children, their pension is not enough to live on. LichtBlick Seniorenhilfe e. V. ensures that needy seniors can once again fulfill their small wishes themselves. An initiative that is a true project close to our hearts and that we are happy to support with sponsorships. With our set offer, we were able to take on 50 sponsorships for seniors for a year.

On Thursday, November 26, 2020, we provided children with 1 year of school meals.

The Mary's Meals movement has one goal: every child should receive a nutritious meal every day. To date, they are working in 19 countries on 5 continents to achieve this and are helping to combat global hunger, which affects over 690,000,000 people, including countless children. For us, this is an incredible number and an opportunity to do something to reduce it. We achieved this with a special offer on our new baby line . We have collected so many donations that we can feed 100 children for a school year.

On Friday, November 27, 2020, we removed plastic from the sea.

When JUNGLÜCK was founded around 2 years ago, it was a particular concern to produce our products as plastic-free as possible. Especially because the pollution of our environment through plastic and disposable packaging is increasing immensely. We want to continue to contribute to this and therefore support Plastic Free Planet in their work to clean up our oceans. The day of action was clearly one of our highlights! The expectations for this day of action were completely exceeded! With your help, we were able to remove 11,565 tons of plastic from the ocean. Calculated in 1.5 liter PET disposable bottles, that's 385,500 (!) bottles.

On Saturday, November 28, 2020, we planted 2 trees for each product.

Trees are our most important helpers in filtering harmful CO2 from the air. However, deforestation and millennia-old nature are continuing, particularly in poorer regions of the world. From the very beginning, we have therefore planted trees with the sale of our products and supported the organization Eden Reforestation Projects . And because this is so important to us, last Saturday we doubled the number of trees and planted two trees for every product sold. The campaign day definitely brought double the joy for us too! We have put together beautiful gift sets for you that will make this year's sustainable gift-giving easier and sweeter. Over the whole week we were able to plant an incredible number of trees with Eden Projects - 75,283 to be exact.

On Sunday, November 29, 2020, we supported the construction of wells in Africa.

Water means life. A natural resource that should be accessible to everyone. Especially where this resource is scarce. The organization Menschen für Menschen has been committed to this for many years in Africa and, with the help of donations, builds wells in regions threatened by war, drought and poverty. With a donation of 2,295 euros, we were able to finance almost an entire well construction in Ethiopia.

We would like to say a huge thank you to you!

The week of happiness was a huge incentive for us to become even more committed, sustainable and socially active. We are already looking forward to all the upcoming projects that we can support together with you. We already have something in the pipeline that we are very proud of. We will tell you more about it when everything is finalized.

We would be happy if you continue on the journey with us!

Your Marie
