Areas of responsibility for your involvement

Be Welcome

Our sponsorship program supports refugees and migrant workers as they settle in Germany. The structure of a sponsorship is flexible. It is tailored to the wishes and interests of those involved.

Visiting services

Spend time together and chat, cook or drink coffee together, play cards, read aloud, or simply listen. Seniors and people with disabilities enjoy regular visits. These encounters enrich the everyday lives of everyone involved.

Reading aloud at daycare

Children love stories. They stimulate the imagination and encourage a desire to read (and learn to read).
Immerse yourself in the world of books with our daycare children. Read exciting and/or funny stories aloud.
