Not only the lives of so many children, but also the lives of their families and communities are positively impacted by the school. I am using my reach to raise money for this school. If it can become your school too and you want to be part of a great story, that would be wonderful!
Every euro counts – no matter what your heart tells you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Together with you and many others from my wonderful community, we are making the world a better place. It enriches our own lives when we give children the chance to lead a better life through education. Are you part of it?

How does my money make a safe and lasting difference at “Pencils of Promise”?
PoP has many years of experience in building schools. The results of the core and pilot programs are reviewed twice a month:
Regular meetings with teachers, students, parents and community leadership.
Comprehensive analysis (qualitative and quantitative) to track teacher and student performance. Progress is shared with the communities to evaluate the effectiveness of the programs.

About the partner organization
Pencils of Promise (PoP) was founded in 2008 and has since built more than 600 schools, with 252,000 pupils currently enrolled. PoP is active in Ghana, Guatemala and Laos.
Why was “Pencils of Promise” chosen as a partner organization?
Nono Konopka invited me to his podcast in 2020 and his own story inspired me to build a school in Africa!
Nono had collected money for his first two schools in Guatemala via social media on his bike tour from Berlin to Beijing (China). The journey with his friend Max was filmed: Biking Borders (on Netflix and Amazon). 9 schools have already been built by Nono in this way.
