Mission

Together we make children’s lives more promising by supporting small-scale projects in developing countries.

Realised projects

01. Educational institution Leoncio Prado, Karina, Chucuito, Puno, Peru

We provided school furniture and computers.

02. Educational institution Capi Cruz Grande, Uros Chulluni, Puno, Peru

The school was rebuilt with our support after it was completely destroyed by fire, and we provided furniture and a motorboat to take the children – who live on reed islands that the people built themselves on Lake Titikaka – to school and bring them back safely every day.

03. Educational institution Capi Cruz Grande, Uros Tribuna, Puno, Peru

We provided a motorboat to take the children – who live on reed islands that the people built themselves on Lake Titikaka – to school and bring them back safely every day.

04. Professional training for former child soldiers, Monrovia, Liberia

Despite the efforts of many, hardly any progress could be made, due to the severe drug addiction of the former child soldiers. Therefore, we decided with pain in our hearts to stop supporting this project financially.

05. Educational institution of Suana, Suana Island, Peru

We provided this school with furniture, computers and musical instruments.

06. Educational institution of Anapia, Anapia Island, Peru

We provided this school with a motorboat for safe school transport.

Projects in progress and projects in preparation

11. St. Francis Training Institute, Mbarara, Uganda

We provide this school, a training institute for young tailors and counsellors, with sewing machines and tailoring tools.

12. Young girl, Uganda

Through our work in Uganda we came into contact with a young girl who needed urgent medical attention. Treatment has started and seems to be working well.

13. Association Graceland Action & Développement (AGAD), Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

Together with Lenie Hoegen Dijkhof and her husband Yessa Diarra, we are going to realize the first three classrooms plus general facilities of a new school in the Kamsontenga district. Construction has started with the successful drilling of a well. AGAD guarantees that the school will be fully operational at the opening of the 2021 – 2022 school year, on 1 October 2021.

14. DARE, Varanasi, India

Father Abhi runs a shelter for girls, who were found homeless and without family in the train stations of Varanasi. The goal is to reunite the children with the parents as soon as possible. The current shelter is too small. We intend to help facilitate the expansion and are making efforts to collect the second 50% of the required budget.

15. Burlobo Rock View Primary School, Lira, Uganda

At the request of Patrick Olwit Ogwang, school inspector in Lira district, we are going to realize a manual water pump for this school. The contract has been signed. Preparations for the realization will start soon.
