Background
Through the “Verbraucher stärken im Quartier” project, The Federation of German Consumer Organisations (Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband (vzbv)) will work with the 16 consumer centres to provide individual support to people who need special protection as ordinary consumers. Where consumers are particularly vulnerable because of their living conditions and low income, the project will create new educational opportunities and actively reach out to people.
