Description of:
Charitable organisation “Ourchild e.V.” – international Children`s charity


The association Ourchild e. V. was founded on October 13th in 1997. It is situated in the small German town Bad Sulza and is run on an honorary basis by four board members, one employee, and one freelancer.The purpose of the association is the promotion of youth welfare and the education of children and adolescents all over the world, regardless of religion, sex, nationality or race.

This is achieved through:

  •       Care for mental and physical development
  •       Provision of food, clothing and shelter
  •       Preventive health care, health education and information
  •       School education and training
  •       Aid projects provide help to enable people to help themselves. Projects are to be understood as integrative, supporting schools, individual children and youths, families, and also the social structure of local communities of such families, entire villages, and/or city neighbourhoods in order to counteract the social and moral impoverishment of such areas and to improve the survival and living conditions of the children living in them. The networking of such projects serves as an ongoing exchange basis for experience, knowledge and development for those involved in aid project work to help strive for improvements in integrative and interactive project work:
  1. best possible use of available resources, whether financial, personal, or in terms of knowledge
  2. optimisation of the individual aid projects
  3. transfer of knowledge gained for new aid projects.
