Newsletter 2022

Here you’ ll find our current newsletter: We managed to achieve a great deal in 2022! It was not an easy year, price increases, food shortages and, above all, the drought in East Africa presented our partners with enormous challenges.  We were able to help 3,500 children at short notice with school meals, we awarded scholarships and enabled over 1,000 girls to attend school uninterupted by providing them with reusable sanitary kits. We hope to continue this aid in 2023 as the drought continues to cause poverty and hunger. Thank you very much for your active support, it was and continues to be essential!

Newsletter 2020

COVID-19 has impacted all of us and changed many facets of our lives we took for granted, celebrating, regular working, but most of all being free to move and travel. For many of us it is a loss in freedom, for others it has a much greater impact. The majority of countries in which we operate depend on tourism. The closure of airports, the absence of tourists and the ensuing loss of jobs has lead to real poverty in many countries in Africa. Read more on all the developments here in our Newsletter 2020. Thank you for your donations, they are needed more than ever before!
