Non-profit foundation

Education as a foundation for the future

We support people and educational institutions facing material hardship – for better access to education, greater financial security and respectful coexistence in Palestine, Israel and Germany.

Our starting point

Education opens horizons. Many people still lack the depth of learning they need – often because material barriers stand in the way.

The foundation carries on the founder’s family’s commitment: it strengthens education for children and young people, makes access easier for others and supports places of learning.

What we focus on

We support people and educational institutions where education meets material barriers – and where encounter builds trust.

That includes learning spaces, formats that foster understanding and help for children and young people. The three cards below outline typical areas of our work.

Education & learning spaces

Schools, daycare, student support and projects that improve access to teaching, equipment and health-related care.

Encounter & understanding

Formats and partnerships that strengthen respectful coexistence – for example through exchange and shared learning settings.

Children & young people

Targeted help for young people and their families where access to education and stability matters most.
