Our basic principles
Helping people help themselves
Which means
The affected target population play an active role in the projects from the very beginning. Operating costs are paid on the spot.
No long term committments or dependencies are reasoned in the long run. The initiatives of our organisation have the function of a catalyct which propels with its initial ignition further activties.We cooperate with Networks on site.
Which means
Our projects should not diminish the responsibility of the local authorities at their place of residence by grantig the primary care of the population.
We favour our personal committment as well as puposeful money and proper donations and we want to enduce the local authorities to fulfill their responsibility towards the population.
We want to change the system by cooperation.
Which means
Our foremost aim is to impart a realistic Impression of Latin America here in Germany
That is why our mutual projects with people in Latin America are equally important as monetary donations or material help.
Global interrelations can only be understood and real changes reached in this world by a personal committment .
