Our funding is targeted at the following areas:

 

  • Basic existential needs (orphan­age, children’s village, micro­credits).

  • Healthcare (prenatal care, mid­wifery, supplies of visual aids, cataract surgeries, clean drinking water, 3D printed protheses).

  • Education (kindergarten and school buildings, scholarships, vocational and academic edu­cation projects, computer lab, bikes for pupils).

  • Measures to preserve cultural identity and to gain equal oppor­tunities (rehabilitation of child prostitutes, awareness campaign against human trafficking, radio station).

 

​

The founding board consists of the filmmakers Oliver Herbrich and Peter Heller, who con­tinues to work in this field and re­gu­larly re­ports on development co­op­era­tion issues.

 

They have travelled to many coun­tries in the so-called ‘Third World’ and know the living con­di­tions there. As pro­ducers and entre­pre­neurs, they are com­mit­ted to pro­ject ma­na­ge­ment and re­sults.

​

In 2024, Monika Bobzien, a qua­li­fied psychologist and expert in project and organisational de­ve­lop­ment, joined the Board. They all work on a voluntary basis and are happy to contribute their expertise and experience.
