successfully funded Social projects Crowdfunding Projects

We want to provide a transitory, comprehensive home with all necessary services and support programmes for up to 15 unaccompanied, most vulnerable refugee and migrant children under the age of 15, who need special care and support that can’t be provided in the large collective centres or children who live currently on the streets. These children are mostly orphans or half-orphans which fled alone. With this Crowdfunding we finance the acquisition and renovation of the house in Loznica, Serbia. Every donation is so valuable for us and brings us a step forward to realise this project. Thank you from the bottom of our heart for your support.

… that is what’s missing for many people of Musey since the devastating earthquake this past April. So far, no support has reached this remote region. A brief description of our project: Ten families shall receive a new roof over their heads. For this particular purpose, this upcoming spring we will travel to Kathmandu to ensure the sourcing of the essential building materials on site and its transportation to the village of Musey at 2,700 m. above sea level. It is important to us that... … the roofs will be locally sourced and produced in Nepal. … the roofs will be chosen in such a way, that they will endure the given environmental conditions at 2,700 m .a.s.l. for at least the next 50 years. … the transport by helicopter proceeds safely. … the local population will execute the reconstruction of the roofs according to their expertise and traditions. … we will be on site for the duration of the project in order to supervise the project fully and assist the locals. Interesting background information: - Musey is located in the Solu Khumbu District which is known for its breathtaking nature and for being a starting point for many tracking tours and expeditions to the Himalaya. - The Village of Musey is mainly inhabited by the Sherpa people who predominantly live off agriculture and their work as experts in the field of high-altitude mountaineering. - The Sherpa (♂) and the Sherpini (♀) are a mountain tribe which originate in Tibet. - The tribe name “Sherpa” is nowadays used as a job description. Today people who work in the Himalayan mountain industry are generally called “Sherpa”. - In the few years that a Sherpa can work as a carrier and alpine guide, he not only provides for his own family but also often supports his entire village.  

Hello Jullay ! In Zanskar, in the Indian Himalayas, 14’000 people are isolated from the rest of India for as long as 5 to 7 consecutive winter months due to heavy snowfalls blocking the few road accesses through mountain passes. There is no rescue service in case of emergency or critical medical condition. This is where our project fits in. We plan to train a team of 8 young Zanskari in rescue and emergency medicine, including basic support in birth delivy and postnatal care, and starting from March 2018.

Donation for Maja and her five children, the family of Boban, our friend who died at the age of 36 years due to a power accident. Boban grew up in Lescovac in southern Serbia. The whole country, especially southern Serbia is depleted due to the crisis by the change of government, the Yugoslav wars and the sanctions from the European Countries. The family therefore moved in an informal settlement in Belgrade. They lived without electricity, without running water or hygienic facilities. This spring the family had to leave the slum and moved to an outlying district of the city in an empty house. Since there was no electricity, Boban went out to connect the house with electricity of a power pole. He calmed Maja, she should not have to worry that he would bring her light. As Boban did not come back, Maja sought her husband and found him behind the house on the floor, still under power. Boban's wife is now with her five girls in a world full of prejudice and discrimination. Without our help the girls have no prospects. Temporary the family is accommodated in a container settlement far outside of the city center. With your donations we can help the family get the necessary docuements, arrange accommodation and bring the conditions for the children to have access to education. We thank you in advance for your help! Boban participated as well in the art project "Secondary Architecture 2013/2014" by the Serbian artist Branislav Nikolić as in our work "The Paper of Others" about the recycling circular economy of paper in Belgrade. Branislav built with Boban, who was regarded as the architect of its settlement, such a hut for his exhibition: made completely of urban waste materials, an average of about 12 to 13 square meters. Boban appeared both in my publication "The Paper of Others"* which was published by the Cultural Foundation of the Canton Thurgau, as well as in the eponymous film, that I realized together with the docuementar filmmaker and photographer Alex Ferraté. Boban told us about his life, working with waste of the citizens, the situation of the settlement residents and his personal wishes for the future of his family and the other families in the settlement. * With photographs by Alex Ferraté and Milica Nikolić With best regards Daniela Gugg
