Education is the key to peace
Needy children can be helped with educational opportunities
Foundation purpose
Youth welfare in the form of educational support is the purpose of the foundation. Needy children, adolescents and young adults in training should be supported in the development of their mental and physical talents through educational and training measures.
This purpose of the foundation is based on our conviction that education, training and again education are the solution for need, misery, poverty, violence, discrimination and discord on our earth. Only those who are able to help themselves will be able to make a good contribution to their own development and thus to the development of humanity on a small or large scale. Our goal is to create the conditions for as many people as possible, primarily children and young people, to shape their own lives and thus give them the chance to positively shape their social environment.
In doing so, we see education and training, upbringing and care as essential building blocks for a world in which there is more peace.
We prefer direct help. We want to get to know the person we support personally. In our modern world, this is also possible via suitable media.
For this purpose we are looking for an "anchor" in which we can find trust. This can be the parents, but also an institution or persons who ensure on site that our support gets there and for the purpose for which it is granted.
That is:
- Our support is based on a jointly defined goal, which may or may not be a school or university degree.
- The form and scope of our support is largely determined by the goal. We grant scholarships or cover the annual training costs. We also assume sponsorships with the aim of accompanying the respective "godchild" on the way to the jointly defined goal.
- We are interested in the development of the sponsored child on the way to the goal. To this end, we maintain contact and exchange information together.
- Sometimes goals can be changed on the way, if we are involved.
