Presents which change the future

For the holidays, there are many people who want to make their loved ones happy – and not with material things, but with thoughtful and sustainable gifts which do good. Our gift ideas will not only delight your friends and family; they greatly help the people you are donating to.

Day care in the Eastern Cape

We have joined forces with the Samara Foundation to support daycare centers in the Eastern Cape, a very poor region in South Africa. These centers are a place where children from the community are appreciated for who they are, be safe and develop self-confidence. Your donations will help us provide the teaching materials they need at the daycare centers, such as books, toys and colored pencils.

Coffee seedlings for Chipunga Farms

With a donation of 5 euros per coffee seedling, you can support Chipunga Farm at the Karonga diocese in Malawi in acquiring additional plants and expanding their farm. 

By growing and selling coffee beans, the school can become more financially independent: it will be able to finance projects using its own funds and will no longer be as reliant on donations.

Teaching materials for St. Mauritius

St. Mauritius secondary school currently teaches around 200 students, but they still lack teaching materials. A donation of five euros, for example, will make it possible to buy a textbook or another kind of resource.

Adding further classrooms will give more children an opportunity to attend secondary school.

A scholarship for Malawi

Some children cannot attend school because the path there and back is too long for them to walk daily. The only solution in such cases is a boarding school like the one at St. Ignatius secondary school.

We help arrange scholarships. For 39 euros a month / 468 euros a year, you can give a child a chance to pursue a solid education and a good future.
