Visions for Children.
For a world in which every child can read and write.
773 million young people and adults worldwide are illiterate. We make education based on equal opportunities possible.
Around 10% of the world’s population goes hungry – even though a life free from hunger is a human right. Years of war and dangerous humanitarian crises have left large parts of the Afghan and Syrian populations at the mercy of starvation without international support. However, both crises are in danger of disappearing from the public eye.
With this year’s humanitarian emergency relief during the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan, we want to show our solidarity and support. Together, we can reach 120 Afghan families and 150 families in Turkey – mainly Syrian refugees – with food parcels so that they can get through Ramadan hunger-free. Find out more about the campaign here.
Thank you so much for your support, which makes this emergency relief possible!
Our projects
Education
With our educational projects, we support schools in developing their infrastructure. In doing so, we strengthen our target group’s capacities by providing further training to create an adequate learning atmosphere and quality of education.
Emergency relief
In conflict areas, people often lack the most bare necessities. We therefore provide people in need with essential goods at least twice a year.
Integration
Our teaching materials give pupils in Germany an interactive insight into the educational and complex crisis situation in Afghanistan and highlight the need for sustainable development cooperation.
This is us
We are a non-profit organization from Hamburg. Our long-term goal is to promote and improve the learning conditions and quality of school education in war and crisis zones. We act independently of political, religious or ethnic interests and reject financial support from companies whose products or actions endanger children or generally oppose our work for children’s rights.
FOR THE PAST 17 YEARS, OUR MISSION HAS BEEN TO PROMOTE SCHOOL EDUCATION.

Farhot
“I believe that in smaller organizations, people work with more heart. To be honest, I can’t think of any excuse not to donate money. As an overprivileged, lucky fellow, I think it would be presumptuous not to give anything back.”
Usama Elyas
“I prefer small associations that I trust. I immediately think: they surely don’t spend half of their donations on administration, as is the case with the big ones. Positive prejudice, in other words.”
Chefket
“Without education I wouldn’t be where I am now. I am socially active without even thinking about it too much. I now know the people from Visions for Children e.V. personally, and I think that the money is in good hands with them.”
Zeina Nassar
“Education is the first step to independence, to master one’s life and to provide for oneself and one’s family. That is why I want to inspire hope in children with my commitment”.
Wana Limar
“Education teaches us means and ways to take control of our lives. It makes us independent and shows us how much we all depend on each other and how important mutual help is.”
Lena Meyer-Landrut
“I think this is a great project with lots and lots of heart. It is about your own roots and about implementing something in the places where you know that something is needed.”
