Helping people to help themselves

Schule fürs Leben e. V. (School for Life) is based on the concept of ”Helping people to help themselves!“ Our objective is to give impoverished children, adolescents and mothers a basic education, enabling them to live their lives and to earn money in an upright and decent way.

For that purpose, the association establishes and funds schools and learning institutions that are individually adapted to national and local requirements. We successfully launched our first Primary School in September 2004 in Montebello near Cali, Colombia.
