Our Foundation enables and strengthens people who are disadvantaged because of their gender, age, social background, religion or a disability. Health, education and an income through work are the basis of self-determination in life.
Discrimination because of gender, age, social background, religion or a disability is the reason why many people cannot benefit from equal opportunities for self-determination in life. We seek to enable people and communities to live with a high degree of independence and self-determination, and, therefore, to create an added value for the foundation in the sense of social entrepreneurship reflected in our credo “sharing responsibility”

We invest in health. Health is decisive for all our endeavours in projects related to hygiene and medical care. Our attention is focused in particular on countries with a lack of clean drinking water and government support, but also on providing people with disabilities with essential support to allow them to live independently. This may include mobility devices, sign language interpreters or alternative treatments which are not covered by insurances or national health services.
Education is a human right. It allows us to act independently and enjoy self-determination. Yet, many people are denied access to education, because of religious, political or social reasons. We give support in the realms of academic education, skills development, personal exchange, mentoring and networking. Our commitment focuses on individuals without access to education or those who do not receive sufficient support through state education programmes.
Work secures one’s existence. Not only does it provide us with financial security, but it also helps us create our identity and self-awareness. In order to do this, work has to provide opportunities for self-development and continuing education.
Work must not be exploitative, instead, it should foster self-realisation and fulfilment. People have a right to work. Our commitment focuses on reintegrating individuals into working environments, we support initiatives for job creation and stand for improved working conditions.
