Projects

The “With Heart and Hands” project offers orphaned children in Côte d’Ivoire a safe home and access to education, while sustainable sources of income such as a vegetable garden and small businesses ensure the home’s financial independence. It not only promotes the children’s independence, but also strengthens the local community and creates a role model for sustainable development.

The aim of the project is to help children living on the streets and to offer them a safe space in the form of the cultural center, where they can not only meet their basic needs, but also receive support for their personal and educational development.
