Projects

Behind each of our projects are people who make them successful. Since the foundation of help alliance, every project is supervised by a volunteer project coordinator. Together with help alliance and competent local partners, they take responsibility for ensuring that the project work has a positive impact on the beneficiaries and contributes to sustainable development. The two main focal points of the work are “Quality education for all” and “Creating job prospects”. However, many of the projects also cover other priorities from the areas of: Nutrition, Health, Environmental Protection, Equality, Inclusion, Integration and Abolish Child Labor.

Quality education for all

Education is a human right and the key to a self-determined life. We are firmly committed to ensuring that disadvantaged children and young people worldwide receive high-quality education. This includes school and preschool education, but also support in extracurricular activities.

Creating career prospects

We are convinced that a good vocational training is the basis for a successful professional life. In many project countries, however, there is no state-organized training system. We therefore support young people with high-quality education and training opportunities and provide them with mentors.

Lilis School, Puerto Plata

In 1992, Florencia “Dona Lili” Bonilla founded the Colegio Enriquillo in a poor suburb of Puerto Plata with the goal of providing the children living there with access to a quality education that would pave the way for them to receive a university scholarship. The school building of “Lilis School” has become dilapidated over the years and no longer meets the requirements of the government for a private school.

Holistic School, Krishnapuram

Access to education is particularly difficult for traumatized children, who are often limited in their cognitive development because their experiences impair their development and make it difficult for them to learn and concentrate. These children find the support they need at Peniel English Higher Primary School. Through specially tailored educational programs, they are not only accompanied on their educational path, but are also supported holistically.
