The Group is also involved in many countries and projects beyond the work of the MAHLE Foundation. Below are some examples of MAHLE's involvement in the various regions of the world.

	Promoting health care is one of the main focuses of the MAHLE Foundation

Brazil: In 2006, we successfully continued the focal task of sponsoring socially underprivileged young people. These educational and health sponsorship projects rely primarily - as in all countries - on the voluntary commitment of our employees. In the future, the social aid programs already being run by MAHLE Metal Leve S.A. and MAHLE Componentes de Motores do Brasil Ltda. will be supplemented and augmented by cooperation with the MAHLE Foundation.

Germany: In 2006, MAHLE contributed to the "Jugendbegleiter" ("Youth Support") program, for example, which supports young people in choosing careers and entering the job market. In 2007, the number of places for initial vocational training will also be increased in order to provide career prospects for even more young people. Numerous employees helped to give 20 young people from Brazil an unforgettable experience, sponsored by MAHLE during the soccer World Cup in connection with UNESCO International Youth Day. These disadvantaged young people are participants of our "Formare Program" in Brazil - a program that supports these young people during a very important stage of their lives and offers them additional opportunities.

Great Britain: MAHLE Powertrain Ltd. supported the British air ambulance service by providing a team to take part in the annual "Dragon Boat Race". MAHLE Filter Systems UK Ltd. sponsored the "Elim Newlife Foundation", a foundation involved in Prizren in Kosovo, whose activities include the provision of humanitarian and medical aid and support for the reintegration and training of returning refugees. MAHLE provided computers for education and MAHLE employees traveled to Kosovo to provide assistance on the ground in their free time.

North America: MAHLE supports the "United Way" organization, both through donations directly from the company as well as through employee payroll deductions. United Way sponsors regional charities, coordinates emergency services, mediates between collaborating organizations, and provides financial aid. In 2006, many MAHLE employees gave up a portion of their income and started a number of activities to raise donations for charitable organizations like United Way. In terms of the number of participants and amount of donations, MAHLE is a fantastic example to other companies in the USA. 33 projects were sponsored in 2006, from a retirement home to a soup kitchen.

Poland: In the 2006/2007 school year, MAHLE is helping to provide meals and clothing for children from less fortunate families. MAHLE provided financial aid toward medical care for severely handicapped children and the purchasing of orthopedic devices. In collaboration with the "Blood Foundation", MAHLE also helped to finance bone marrow tests, for example. Help was also provided to disadvantaged children at the elementary school in Krotoszyn in cooperation with the "Children's Friend Association".

Portugal: In 2006, MAHLE supported activities to combat poverty and social exclusion through the "Integration into the regional social network" project, acting as a "friendly neighbor" by sharing responsibility for the local community.
