People & Sponsors
The goal of our association was and is “the promotion of development aid, especially charitable projects for children and youth welfare, as well as other charitable projects in Kenya” (excerpt from our statutes).
It is very important for us to be in direct, friendly contact with our Kenyan partners, allowing them as much autonomy as possible. Despite the necessary financial control and transparency, we do not prioritize money, but rather development cooperation. We learn from and with each other!
Our Team in Germany
From a small circle of eight founding members, we have grown into a respectable group of about 40 active members who meet every two to three months from all over Bavaria and Austria to make decisions and plan actions for the benefit of children in Kenya.
All members of our association feel connected to Kenya, work voluntarily, and know the Kenyan partners personally.
