Future with better prospects: Encouragement of education for children and adults in Africa
The german Christian Liebig Foundation aims to make FOCUS journalist Christian Liebig’s vision of helping people in Africa help themselves a reality. Christian Liebig did not have the good fortune of being able to realise this dream as he would have liked during his lifetime, so the Foundation wants to do it for him, in his memory. We strive to help build homes for children in need in African countries. We want to build, manage and support schools, also in collaboration with other associations, foundations and initiatives.
Our objectives
Some of the projects we will realise are:
- Building homes for children in need whose parents are no longer alive or who are not able to give their children an education, as well as providing financial assistance and offering advisory services.
- Setting up, supporting or participating in the creation of schools, procuring or supplementing school materials and supporting the teachers in these schools.
- Sponsoring and finding sponsors for children, with the priority on enabling them to attend school.
- Promoting gifted students.
