The association

Go there first.
Then help.

Our founding members have got to know many regions through varied travels and their own projects. They have been on the ground themselves in schools, medical facilities and communities, and experienced how crucial reliable structures are for genuine prospects for the future.

Specialists from Zwickau who travel there themselves.

The association grew out of this first-hand experience. We bring together expertise from education, medicine, environmental work and development cooperation, and carry out projects both nationally and internationally. Our projects promote sustainable education, self-help and the protection of natural livelihoods. Always with the aim of opening up long-term prospects for people, while combining knowledge, practice and international solidarity.

Education, health and sustainability are the foundation for a dignified and secure future.

What we are working on.

  • Education

    We support the running, equipping and maintenance of schools. Where lessons fail because of the building, we build the building.

  • Health

    We support medical facilities and health education. Several of our members work in medicine and medical technology themselves.

  • Nature and species conservation

    We plan environmental and species conservation projects together with local and international partners.

  • Awareness and engagement

    We strengthen international awareness and development cooperation through information work on the ground and in the region.

Who runs the association.

The association was founded on 22 December 2025 in Zwickau and is registered with the Amtsgericht Chemnitz under VR 7618. Since May 2026, it has been recognised as non-profit (charitable status) by the Zwickau tax office.
