Education and training as a foundation for a better future

For more than 20 years, we have been committed to creating prospects for the next generation in our Ethiopian partner city. We started with preschool kindergartens – we have already built two and are planning another. The library we built is a center of learning – especially for the slightly older students. We have also recently started working with the vocational school, trying to create concrete career prospects through knowledge transfer and the promotion of entrepreneurship. As a twin city, however, we are concerned with more than development cooperation and concrete projects: With cultural exchange and travel in both directions, we try to live friendship with our neighboring continent, to create understanding for each other and, above all, to learn from each other.

Shaping the future

At the community and people-to-people level, we have the best opportunity to shape our common future in a sustainable and positive way. In very concrete development projects, but also in a lot of exchange of knowledge and ideas.

Experience development

Living and working together with our friends is Ethiopia is continuous, transparent and sustainable. With annual travel, you can see the impact of our work for yourself.

Learning Tolerance

Our partnership is committed to the equality of individuals and meeting as equals. However, we are aware that culture and history have underpinned both unifying and dividing factors.
