Key concerns

  • Helping

    Not everyone is fortunate enough to live on the bright side of life. Sometimes, people lack even the most basic necessities: regular meals, warm clothing, a safe roof over their head, or essential medical care. Young children and elderly people, in particular, often rely on the support of others in these situations. This is precisely where we step in: whether through direct material aid or financial support for our partner organizations.

  • Strengthen

    Resilient people are better prepared to overcome challenges. The best way to cope with a difficult journey is not to face it alone. For this reason, we are also committed to institutions such as children's homes and hospices, for example, which provide warmth, stability and support to both the people affected and their families during tough times.

  • Supporting

    In places where access to education is not guaranteed for everyone, we advocate for education and skills development, enabling girls and boys to lead as independent and self-reliant lives as possible. We support various projects for training and further education and specifically promote young women. This is how we create better prospects together.
