Who we are
Helping people help themselves – together with local communities
We are a registered non-profit association and, above all, a group of people from Berlin and Brandenburg with many ideas and a strong commitment to Africa.
The founders’ professional connections in West Africa broadened our perspective on a continent of contrasts, challenges, hope and opportunity.
Our work is based on empowering people to help themselves. We support people in building a self-determined future in their own country and promote understanding between people and cultures.
Direct cooperationUnderstand needs, plan together and implement reliably.
