Dona­ting ins­tead of gif­ting

Espe­ci­al­ly at Christ­mas, we want to give our loved ones some­thing
spe­cial. Yet often, gifts lie unu­sed in a cor­ner while else­whe­re the bare essen­ti­als are miss­ing. With your Christ­mas dona­ti­on, you give twice:

A meaningful gift
Your dona­ti­on saves child­ren’s lives and gives fami­lies hope – a gift that has an impact far bey­ond the holi­day sea­son.

Joy that car­ri­es for­ward
With your dona­ti­on, you make seve­ral peo­p­le hap­py at once: the sick child, the gift reci­pi­ent – and yours­elf, through the good fee­ling of having made a dif­fe­rence.

Dona­te now!

With your dona­ti­on, you give sick child­ren like pre­ma­tu­re baby Ami­na hope and a future.

Ami­na

The girl was born three months pre­ma­tu­re and weig­hed just 754 grams – a life-threa­tening start for the litt­le child. Wit­hout rapid and qua­li­fied medi­cal help, she would have had litt­le chan­ce of sur­vi­val. A dedi­ca­ted, well-trai­ned team at the peri­na­tal cen­ter in Barentu pro­vi­ded Ami­na with inten­si­ve medi­cal care in her first few weeks – and so the litt­le figh­ter made it.

In recent years, we have been able to estab­lish three peri­na­tal cen­ters and a neo­na­tal depart­ment in Eritrea, which now pro­vi­de life-saving inten­si­ve care for pre­ma­tu­re babies. Through ongo­ing trai­ning and qua­li­fi­ca­ti­on of local spe­cia­lists, we have been able to signi­fi­cant­ly redu­ce the mor­ta­li­ty rate.
