0 Following the principles of our organisation’s founder, Karlheinz Böhm (1928-2014), we have been working with the people of Ethiopia for more than 40 years to create a fairer future. Every day.
Our vision is a world in which we live sustainably in a fair society; a world in which there are equal opportunities and everyone has the chance to lead a self-determined life on their own strength.
Everyone can change the world for the better if we do it together, as Menschen für Menschen.
“There is no first, second or third world. We all live on one and the same planet, for which we bear joint responsibility.”
