Menschen für Menschen provides aid for self-development in Ethiopia – integrated, sustainable and at eye level. Our aim is to make the people independent of outside support in the long term. We have already been successful in our efforts for over 43 years, and propose to continue in future in the tradition of Karlheinz Böhm.

Together we can help, as Menschen für Menschen.
