For over 20 years, we have been arranging school sponsorships for children in the mountain villages, enabling school attendance for hundreds of children. With €50 per year, a girl or boy can attend the village school, and with €200 per year, they can attend a higher school.
We ensure that the poorest families benefit most from sponsorship.
From the very beginning, we consciously chose to avoid personal school sponsorships, primarily for reasons of organisation, but we also want to prevent inequalities arising through individual gifts – often donated with the best of intentions – that could lead to disappointment among the other school children.
Himalaya-Karakorum e.V.
The non-profit organization supports people living in difficult conditions in the mountains of the Himalayas and Karakoram, on the edge of the settlement border and always on the edge of their livelihood. The aim is to help the villagers to survive in their ancestral homeland, based on the principle of helping people to help themselves. The primary goal is to ensure that our help will no longer be necessary in the foreseeable future.
