We are committed to places where things that are taken for granted are not taken for granted, where helping people to help themselves opens up opportunities and where people, regardless of where they live, are supported and encouraged in very different ways. For example, by supporting the following organisations and projects:
equal education fund – EEF
The equal education fund – EEF – specifically supports educational projects for children and young people who would not have access to a kindergarten, school or vocational training without this work. Education is a prerequisite for qualified work and an independent life. We support children and young people directly through small, professionally managed project partners, all of whom we know personally and visit regularly. We are currently giving children and young people in Central America (Nicaragua, Guatemala) and south-east Africa (Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia) a better perspective.

Verein Schulkinder Darjeeling
The aim of the organisation is to provide children in the province of Darjeeling in north-eastern India, particularly in the community of Rimbik, with a school education and thus reduce the number of illiterate children. Compulsory schooling lasts 2 years in kindergarten and 9 years in primary school, as in Switzerland. Anyone who pays the annual contribution in accordance with the purpose of the association becomes a member of the association.
