Vision and Mission

Founded in 1999 by dedicated employees of the Lufthansa Group, we work together with our local partners to create perspectives for children, teenagers and young adults worldwide. In order to enable them to lead self-determined and independent lives, our projects focus on education and vocational training as well as on promoting income-generating measures. We always follow the guidelines of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the sustainable UN development goals. Thanks to the commitment of the employees and the strengths of the Lufthansa Group, we can achieve even more throughout our projects.

Through proximity and greater participation, we inspire many to support our work for children, teenagers and young adults who are in need worldwide.

• Bringing about assistance for self-help worldwide through development projects for many local people – to live a self-determined life in dignity
• Doing good by promoting a culture of responsibility among employees within the Lufthansa Group
• Doing good by promoting a culture of responsibility among Lufthansa Group customers

Polyglot employees of the Lufthansa Group are responsible for projects and volunteer their knowledge, skills and network. This personal connection creates trust and ensures that the donations arrive exactly where they are needed.

Every cent you donate arrives: Our projects are financed exclusively by donations. The Lufthansa Group’s donation enables us to cover the costs of administration, public relations and fundraising. In this way we can guarantee that every cent or euro you donate goes directly into our projects.

Children all over the world are at risk of being exploited and taken advantage of. Sexual abuse, verbal abuse, physical or emotional violence are just a few examples of the risks to which children are exposed worldwide.

As a help alliance, we see it as our responsibility to ensure that girls and boys are protected from these dangers in all areas of our organization. A key measure for putting child protection into practice is the drafting of a Child Protection Guideline, in which the values, vision and understanding of the scope of child protection at help alliance are defined in a binding manner.

The Child Protection Guideline applies to all help alliance employees as well as to volunteer project leaders, volunteers and visitors. It serves as a valid guideline for these persons and clarifies their responsibilities and rules of conduct when dealing with children.
