Swimming made easy!

Not every child is privileged enough to learn to swim. Most legal guardians do not have the time of the financial means to send their children to swimming lessons.

Studies in Germany have shown that approx. 60 % of 6-10 year olds are no longer strong swimmers. Swimming lessons are often neglected from the state school timetable. Cuts or being too far away from the next available swimming pool are often the most common reasons for this.

The children's home 'Pauline' has made it its goal that every child in its care should become a strong swimmer and properly prepared for trips and sport's days.

swim course for children for kids in Germany

We were able to make this dream a reality for 20 children and organise a swimming course at the local swimming pool in Siegburg. They were really keen to learn how to swim. Some children were even able to win a sea horse badge. Two children were so motivated by their success that they managed to complete the bronzw course successfully within a very short time. When they receive their bronze badge, the children are allowed to go swimming on their own.

Since then, many in the children's home have been saying how much fun the swimming course was. More and more children are becoming confident in the water and would like to learn to swim. What the children will be motivated to do next..no one knows but we will keep you posted - perhaps a new swimming star will soon be born...

In our projects, our main focus is on educational support, especially in our school projects. We believe that education is the pathway to empower people to build a better future for themselves.

Continuously supporting schools in their operation is just as well part of our work as is the construction and improvement of school infrastructure. Creating access to a secure educational environment free of charge in poor regions with comparatively high educational costs and inadequate public facilities is our goal.

Select one of many children from our schools around the world and become their hero!

Hundreds of children attend our schools around the world, from India to Central America, from South Africa to the Philippines, thanks to the generosity of our heroes.

Many women and men support us and have supported us through generous donations.

Nevertheless, only a few have taken the responsibility, the challenge, and the courage to donate regularly through our sponsorship programme.

If you feel the call to become a hero and want to commit to helping our children, check out our sponsorship programme and become one.

Your sponsorship will bring a book, a meal, a ride, a uniform, a classroom, education against bullying and many other necessary things to one or hundreds of children from our school projects.

THANK YOU for your support!
