Donations
Instead of an entrance fee, we ask for donations to support Helfer ohne Grenzen. This organisation is a membership corporation, approved and accepted by the tax and revenue office as being non-profit and subject to tax relief. In 2004, Helfer ohne Grenzen was awarded the seal of approval by the Deutsche Zentralinstitut for soziale Fragen (DZI) as one of only about 200 aid organisations in Germany.
Helfer ohne Grenzen e.V.
 |
Helfer ohne Grenzen e.V. is an aid organisation dedicated to providing humanitarian aid to refugees, orphans and impoverished families in crisis areas. Its non-profit work offers assistance to all people regardless of their beliefs, gender, race or ethnic background.
Helfer ohne Grenzen is based in Heidelberg, with branch offices in Sarajevo and Zavidovici (Bosnia and Hercegovina) and in Skopje (Macedonia). The organisation co-operates with other public and civil organisations in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. All active helpers in Germany and abroad work on a voluntary unsalaried basis, by which administrative costs are kept at a minimum.
Current Projects:

Much has been accomplished in the past, but there is still more that can be done to assist the poorest inhabitants of Europe on their way into a hopefully brighter future.
