Pro Uganda – Step by Step towards a Dignified Life

What most of us take for granted is an unattainable wish for many people in developing countries: the ability to walk. Due to illness, war injuries and accidents, many people in countries such as Uganda are affected by amputations and can no longer walk independently. Children lose their access to education and adults become unable to work. In many cases, this leads to social exclusion.

#dranbleiben – Together out of the Crisis

When young people end up on the street, they are often not only without shelter – they are also without support, without trust, without hope. The “#dranbleiben” project of the “Straßenkinder e. V.” association meets these young people exactly where they are: in the middle of a crisis, caught in a downward spiral, often stuck in seemingly hopeless situations. What makes this project special is its approach: persistent, patient, relationship-orientated. It is not about quick solutions, but about long-term support. It is about really sticking with it.

A Commitment with Foresight

As a native of Waldshut, she is deeply connected to the foundation – and puts her heart and soul, vision and organisational skills into her work every day. In this interview, she talks about her personal motivations, the diversity of the foundation’s work, and the projects closest to her heart.

For a better Future for Children

Children are the future! But there are still many children and young people without the chance of a happy, free life. Helping them is the aim of the Karl Bröcker Foundation.

In this interview with the interior designer, we learn how her voluntary work has had a lasting impact.
