Meerbusch hilft e.V.

Our Mission: Meerbusch hilft e.V. is a non-profit organization committed to supporting people in need throughout the city of Meerbusch, Germany. Since our founding in 2015, we have provided a wide range of services aimed at social support, integration, and the responsible use of resources. While our initial focus was on immediate assistance for the many refugees arriving at that time, we have since expanded our mission to promote long-term integration and provide sustainable, community-based aid. What We Do: We offer comprehensive support services for individuals and families in need, regardless of origin or background. Our key areas of focus include: Language Education: Free German language classes for refugees to improve communication and integration. Support for Children: Activities and learning support for children from low-income families. Community Engagement: Social programs such as the "Women's Cafe" and intercultural "Community Evenings" to foster dialogue and inclusion. Daily Life Assistance: Our main office serves as a contact point for practical help and advice related to bureaucracy, job search, internships, housing, and more. Food Distribution and Essential Services: Since 2017, we have operated the Meerbusch TAFEL - a food bank with three distribution centers in Buderich, Osterath, and Lank-Latum - currently supporting around 250 households (approximately 800 individuals). We maintain close contact with all refugee housing facilities in Meerbusch and even manage one accommodation site ourselves in Lank-Latum. Additional services include: A clothing depot for those in need of proper clothing A bike repair and donation service A cultural ticket program, offering access to cultural and sports events for people who otherwise could not afford them The "Meerbusch hilft Marktplatz", an online donation platform for household goods, furniture, and appliances Education and Digital Access: We have equipped students from low-income families with loaner laptops and tablets and expanded our homework and tutoring program. We also employ university students to provide tutoring, thereby supporting both the students in need and the tutors financially. Collaboration and Sustainability: We stand for a coordinated, sustainable, and cross-district culture of care. We actively collaborate with other local organizations such as Caritas, Diakonie, and Pappkarton, as well as with sports clubs and community groups across Meerbusch.

Crossing Borders

Crossing Borders (CB) is a non-profit, non-partisan civil society organisation. The vision of CB is a world in peace with itself in which diversity is celebrated. The mission is to create dialogue space toward such a world and to build the capacity of youth, media workers and educators to realise the above vision. The overall goal is to enable people with different backgrounds to learn to live together on equal terms. Crossing Borders started as a project in 1999 in Denmark in support of meaningful dialogue between the conflict parties in the Middle East. In response to increased activities and demands for the CB concept and services, it was transformed, in 2004, into a dynamic organization with activities in Denmark and abroad.

Die Arche Christliches Kinder- und Jugendwerk e.V.

"Making children strong for life!" This slogan neatly sums up how "Die Arche" reaches out to support socially disadvantaged children and young people at support centres across Germany. Every day, the children we support enjoy a free lunch, get help with their homework and have a chance to participate in meaningful after-school activities. We also offer their parents assistance and advice as a way of helping entire families to get to grips with their day-to-day lives. At "Die Arche", we give children the space they need to discover their potential. We nurture their talent, give them opportunities, and encourage and facilitate educational achievement.

Kreisau-Initiative e.V.

The Kreisau-Initiative e.V. was founded 1989 to address the need for international understanding, democratic education, and active engagement in human rights, particularly in response to Europe's history of division, conflict, and authoritarianism. The Kreisau-Initiative is committed to promoting democracy, human rights, social inclusion, and sustainability through international educational programs and cross-cultural dialogue. Rooted in the legacy of the Kreisau Circle, a German resistance group against Nazism, its mission is to empower individuals - especially young people - to actively shape just, inclusive, and democratic societies. At its core, the Kreisau-Initiative responds to persistent social challenges such as discrimination, social exclusion, extremism, and a lack of opportunities for youth participation in shaping democratic, inclusive societies. Recognizing that many young people - especially those from marginalized backgrounds - face barriers to education, empowerment, and cross-cultural exchange, the organization promotes non-formal education as a tool for social change. Today, the need for fostering social cohesion, gender equality, human rights awareness, and sustainability remains as urgent as ever. The Kreisau-Initiative continues to address these challenges by creating spaces for learning, dialogue, and action, empowering individuals to become active, responsible members of a democratic and diverse Europe. The organization's priority objectives are: - To foster social cohesion by addressing discrimination, exclusion, and extremism. - To promote human rights education and critical engagement with history to strengthen democratic values. - To advance gender equality and support marginalized groups through empowerment and participation. - To encourage socio-ecological transformation, raising awareness of sustainable development and climate justice. - To provide spaces for intercultural exchange, enabling young people to develop skills in dialogue, cooperation, and civic responsibility. Through non-formal education, transnational partnerships, and youth-centered approaches, the Kreisau-Initiative equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to drive positive social change across Europe and beyond.

Seva Mandir

Seva Mandir's mission is to make real the idea of society consisting of free and equal citizens who are able to come together and solve the problems that affect them in their particular contexts. The commitment is to work for a paradigm of development and governance that is democratic and polyarchic. Seva Mandir seeks to institutionalise the idea that development and governance is not only to be left to the State and its formal bodies like the legislature and the bureaucracy, but that citizens and their associations should engage separately and jointly with the State. The mission briefly, is to construct the conditions in which citizens of plural backgrounds and perspectives can come together and deliberate on how they can work to benefit and empower the least advantaged in society.
