Projects

As a result of the war, most children in Ukraine have experienced traumatic events such as displacement, violence, loss of
family and friends, hunger and cold. With “Education in a bubble”, we want to give 900 children in the east of the country back their joy and courage to face life.

With the “100 Aker Woods Café”, we want to create a place of refuge and a springboard to generate employment opportunities for young adults. Designed as a social enterprise, the café will not only generate income and create new training opportunities for young adults, but also create added value for the entire community.

The step from school to further education is often a big one for young adults. Through a comprehensive tutoring programme in mathematics, science and English for students in the eleventh and twelfth grades in South Africa, we support them in recognizing their potential and developing their prospects. Our project creates a safe and encouraging learning environment for students from underprivileged backgrounds and equips them with the skills they need to continue their education.

The aim of the project is to prevent young people from dropping out of training and thus reduce the number of young people without a vocational qualification. It is a further development of the Tanzen verbindet project in Munich, which was previously financed by help alliance.

We promote sustainable entrepreneurship in Punta Arena, Colombia and strengthen the community’s resilience to the effects of climate change.

In order to counteract the high unemployment rate, especially among young mothers, a training branch for processing coconut and moringa with a special focus on sustainability is being set up in Mtwapa.

By participating in our “Chess for Change” project, children can improve their critical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making skills. The children receive intensive chess training, valuable life skills education, mentoring and academic support. It also encourages creativity and lays a solid foundation for academic success and personal development.

According to the latest UN figures, over 2 million school-age children in Bangladesh still have no access to elementary school. There is a lack of resources in the education sector and the quality of teaching is poor. Most of the children affected come from marginalized groups and live in remote rural areas. This largeproject aims to provide inclusive, equitable and high-quality education at 60 preschools and elementary school.

The project is aimed at school-age children up to the age of 16 with the aim of promoting their creative talents and personal development. The project also focuses on raising awareness of environmental protection.

Sufficient language and reading skills are key prerequisites for successful integration into society, which in turn forms the basis for a responsible and self-determined life. However, an increasing number of pupils in Germany are unable to read and write properly. As part of the project, children therefore receive half a day of literacy lessons and half a day of soccer training for 90 minutes twice a week.

We are improving the literacy rate in Liberia, a country where only 48% of the population can read after many years of civil war. Our initiative focuses on providing children and young adults with essential reading skills. By providing them with a self-directed and fun learning experience and a positive environment, we empower them to succeed in their education and beyond.

Mental health is a major challenge in Kibera, an informal settlement in Nairobi, with high rates of depression, anxiety, trauma and substance abuse. Our partner organization has set itself the task of tackling this problem by raising awareness of mental health, reducing stigma and implementing community-based interventions and trauma-informed programs to strengthen resilience.
