773 million young people and adults worldwide are illiterate. We make education based on equal opportunities 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 crisis areas, people often lack the most basic necessities. We therefore provide people in need with essential goods at least twice a year.

TEACHING MATERIALS

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 VISIONS FOR CHILDREN

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.

WE HAVE BEEN COMMITTED TO EDUCATION FOR 18 YEARS.

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.”

Donate for children – create educational opportunities

Why donations for children make such a difference

Education is a human right and the key to a more just world. With the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4), the United Nations has set the goal of providing quality education for all children worldwide. But for many children in crisis-stricken regions like Afghanistan and Uganda, access to school and learning materials remains an unfulfilled dream.

Donations for children are far more than short-term support – they open up new perspectives, strengthen communities, and lay the foundation for sustainable development. When you donate money, you enable children to develop their potential and shape their future independently.

Education as a way out of crisis: Support for children in Afghanistan and Uganda

In Afghanistan and Uganda, the challenges are significant: Many schools are damaged, and there is a lack of teaching materials and qualified teachers. Especially in times of crisis, access to education is often the first thing to be lost. Visions for Children e.V. works closely with local partners, teachers, and communities to build schools, equip classrooms, and support teachers. This creates an environment where children can learn, grow, and pursue their dreams.

Your support for children in need means that you’re not just providing short-term help, but also strengthening long-term structures. Education protects against exploitation, gives hope, and opens new paths.

How you can donate meaningfully for children

There are several ways you can get involved to improve educational opportunities:

  • Donate directly: Support the expansion of school buildings, the equipping of classrooms, and training for the community – every contribution helps to directly implement concrete projects.
  • Become a supporting member: With just €8/month, you can provide teaching materials for 12 children, for example – and thus support sustainable educational projects through long-term planning.
  • Donation shop: Give away symbolic donations such as school desks, blackboards, or books – meaningful donations that directly advance educational projects and bring joy to your loved ones with a printable certificate.

Donate for children – take action now!

Every donation counts. Whether you choose a one-time donation, a supporting membership, or a gift from the donation shop, you’re giving children in Afghanistan and Uganda a real chance at education and a self-determined future.
