We are currently supporting the following projects
Orphans in Ethiopia
WITH
Thanks to the friendly mediation of Welella Negussie we got in contact with a nursery run by the hospital in Debre Markos in Ethiopia. Babies who were abandoned and left behind by their mothers after giving birth have been cared for in this facility for about 3 years. The currently 8 infants and toddlers are looked after by employees of the hospital on a voluntary basis in a house rented by the city administration. This small project urgently needs financial support so that rent and maintenance for the children can be paid.
Street children in India
Christiane Gey founded the charitable organization CHILDSRIGHTS 12 years ago. Christiane writes to us:
We are active in India and offer street children and orphans a worthy future. We offer care, food, a good education, medical care, attention and affection for the children. We are now looking after 59 children and the first 11 of our protégés are studying at the University of Jaipur, it was a long and hard road to get there, so we are particularly proud to have made it by then. We accompany all of our children until they can master their lives on their own.
Our other plans are: to build our own children's home and a baby house for 40 orphans (aged 1 month to 4 years) is also planned. We have already acquired a piece of land in Khajuraho, in Madhya Pradesh. A yoga center, library and an ecological vegetable garden are also planned.

Family help in Addis Ababa
This project was founded in 2005 by the Addis Hiwot Kinderhilfe e.V. association, Berlin, in cooperation with a local association in Addis Ababa. The aim is to support primarily single mothers, but also young families. They receive financial help for one of their children, including school uniforms and school supplies. A local social worker first checks whether the mothers - if necessary after attending a free seminar - are in a position to take the initiative in projects of their choice in addition to the support (help for self-help). For this purpose, they receive interest-free micro-loans, which they have to pay back within two years through monitored monthly payments into a savings account, whereby they also learn to save money.
Daniela's Africa
Daniela Ernst was the initiator in 2005 and has been the good soul of this project ever since.
She now supports 11 families, 40 sponsored children and the residents of an old people's home in Mombasa, the Sahajanand Special School (school for handicapped children) in Mtwapa and numerous other people in need.
Their goal is to create a peaceful place in East Africa where children, seniors and animals can live together.
In April 2018 she came a lot closer to this goal. The project has rented a house for the future, the children's oasis, so that the 40 children supported by the project have a safe and sheltered place during the time off school.
