The Question!
What can we do to fulfill our responsibility as citizens? Shouldn’t this question lead our daily behavior? Every time you stumble across this project, every morning you wake up, every time you have a second – take that second and think about it: What can I do? What can we do to support people in need, to support our environment?
Below we display a range of projects doing exactly this: Supporting people in need. Due to the current circumstances, these projects particularly focus on initiatives related to the terrifying war in Ukraine. We plan to complement these projects by other reliable initiatives supporting social and ecological concerns in the future.
