Wadadee Cares e.V.

Wadadee cares Conception: Mission & Vision Wadadee Cares is a non-profit organisation supporting charitable institutions in Windhoek, Namibia, in the location of Katutura. Our projects are primarily focused on benefiting orphans and vulnerable children, to ensure a better future not only for the children but also for Namibia at large. Our goal is to finance the basic daily needs for these children in different local Namibian institutions, such as children homes, shelters, pre-primary schools, kindergartes, day care institutions and soupkitchens. This guarantees a healthy nutrition and medical care, which are basics for a regular daily life, as well as safety and security, housing and warmth and care. Additionally, Wadadee cares focuses on ensuring sustainable investment in the children and their environment to give them education, health and security for their future. Future-oriented support is particularly important in the field of education, as we at Wadadee believe that education is the greatest equalizer and would break any future cycle of poverty, unemployment and diseases. We are trying to comply with the principles of sustainable development aid in our work in Namibia by not keeping our (partner) projects at the expense of the people of Namibia or future generations. Our mission requires social development that is ecologically compatible, socially fair and economically efficient.

Taghyeer Organization - We Love Reading

Taghyeer Organization/ We Love Reading Program is an innovative model that provides a practical, cost efficient, sustainable, grassroots approach empowering communities from low and mid income communities around the world to create changemakers through reading. WLR supports the activism of local volunteers to increase reading levels among children 2-10 by focusing on the readaloud experience to instill the love of reading for pleasure among children to become lifelong learners. We aim to create system change. We create changemakers by recruiting and training adults and youth from local communities to provide read-aloud sessions for local children in safe, public spaces. Each year, WLR volunteers read to tens of thousands of children in public parks, community centers, mosques and other faith-based settings, nurseries, refugee camps, and other locales. We serve diverse populations and communities irrespective of gender, religion, social status, disability, literacy level, educational experience, etc. The training is either implemented in face-to-face settings or via our online platform to allow reaching wider audience of people wanting to volunteer and become reading ambassadors.

Visions for Children e.V.

Worldwide, around 60 million children have no access to primary education and roughly 387 million children are unable to acquire basic skills, despite attending school (Global Education Monitoring Report, UNESCO, 2017). It is our vision to create a world in which every child can read and write. Since 2006, Visions for Children e.V. has been committed to ensuring that every child is given the opportunity to obtain a basic education with which they can acquire basic skills. We particularly build on and contribute to the fourth sustainability goal of the United Nations' Agenda 2030 - namely to ensure an equitable and high-quality education. We believe schools to be anchor points that give children the chance of a self-determined future by means of capacity building within the entire region.

Tafel Deutschland e.V.

There is plenty of food for everyone in Germany, yet many people live in deprivation. The Tafel strive for a fairer balance, engaging volunteers for disadvantaged people in their area. The Federal Association Deutsche Tafel supports and represents more than 900 local Tafel initiatives in Germany. These initiatives collect quality surplus food and distribute it free of charge or for a symbolic amount to socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. The Tafel belongs to one of the largest social movements in Germany. The main tasks of the Federal Association include: Securing nationally operating partners and sponsors for the local Tafel initiatives; Representing the political, economic and social interests of the local Tafel initiatives; Communicating the Tafel initiatives to the media as well as to the public; Sharing best practices, communicating with and advising the local initiatives; Supporting the founding of new local Tafel initiatives. Currently the Tafel are struggling with supporting the increasing number of refugees coming to them for help, and the National Association has started a fund that the Tafel initiatives can apply for money out of in order to fund special projects and increasing needs related to the growing number of people in need of help. The United Nations Refugee Agency estimates that there are more than 60 million displaced people worldwide. The number of people seeking protection in Germany is higher than ever before. In 2012 more than 65,000 people applied for asylum. Over 800,000 applications are expected by the end of 2015. The Tafel in Germany are open to refugees and we support them with fast emergency aid and would also like to increase the number of sustainable integration projects. The Tafel are there for all people who need help. In addition to the refugee camps, the Tafel are one of the first places in Germany that incoming refugees go to for assistance. To meet this challenge, we need more support. Here is what donations support: *More than 920 Tafel in Germany collect food for more than 3.000 distribution sites. *Already 150,000 refugees come to the Tafel for help *Refugees are not isolated at the Tafel. We work to reduce prejudice, strengthen integration and dialogue. *The Tafel are a contact point for refugees to access further counseling options. *Many special projects in addition to immediate aid: clothing, bicycles, German lessons, escorting to various municipal authorities. *Integration of refugees in volunteer structures. *Projects aimed at integration and understanding, for example, community cafes, cooking evenings with refugees and Germans, during which everyone can share their experiences. Increasing numbers of patrons means more work and the need for more space and commitment. Your donation helps us not to have to turn away people in acute need. We promote and quality our volunteers for the special challenges presented by refugees . Donations make projects possible that go above and beyond the distribution of food: cooking courses, community cafes, clothing donations, anti-racism projects and collection points for household goods or bicycles.
