Our Strategy for 2024-2025

We are deeply convinced, that focusing on quality education (SDG4) by financing & building schools serves as a catalyst for all other Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s), such as adressing poverty & hunger (SDG1 & 2), gender equality & reduced inequalities (SDG5 & 10) as well as peace, justice & strong institutions (SDG17).

Utilizing personal and professional networks, we leverage social media, fundraising programs, and partnerships to raise awareness about educational needs in underdeveloped countries

We organize information events, seek contributions from our members and friends, and establish corporate sponsorships to generate funds for our initiatives.
