Education

Education is essential if people are to achieve independence, not to be dependent on others all their lives, and to be able to assess and use the opportunities that the world has to offer. This is why educational services are a high priority in the wortundtat projects. What type of education is needed and why varies from country to country.

Health

Illnesses are not necessarily life-threatening. But they can easily become it without treatment. That happens if sick people cannot afford a doctor or have no access to one. Here, wortundtat partners provide help wherever the state health system does not reach people who need support or treatment.

Social welfare

Alongside state welfare services, non-governmental organisations are essential world-wide when services are needed for people requiring special assistance. At wortundtat, social welfare services have often been the starting point of our work. In all the projects, they also offer people the opportunity to learn about the Christian faith.

God loves people.
We show them – in word and deed.”

Germany – Star in the North

In the large community centre run by our partner, children have room to play and learn. They are treated with love and attention. Parents find people to talk to and opportunities to chat, and young people have room for their own activities. The centre is a beacon of light amidst the challenges facing this multicultural quarter.

You can either run away – or stay and help.
