About Us
Mission and vision
Everyone can change the world. If we do it together.
Our vision
Our vision is a world in which we live sustainably in a justice society; a world in which there are equal opportunities and every person has the possibility to live a self-determined life through their own efforts.
Our mission
We are committed to promoting equal opportunities and sustainable development through collaborative action across countries and continents in order to overcome social injustice and improve living conditions for current and future generations.
Our Team
We are Menschen für Menschen
In order to support people in Ethiopia to escape poverty by themselves, people in Europe and Ethiopia need to ensure that the appropriate resources and means are available and reach the local people. Many of our colleagues have been working with us for decades and are still wholeheartedly committed to creating a better world - as people for people.
Transparency
Your Donation Arrives!
As a donor, you probably want to know exactly where your donation ends up and what is achieved by it. We see it as our responsibility to have our work regularly checked by experts and issue reports that are as transparent as possible.
Karlheinz Böhm
Founder of Menschen für Menschen
The Austrian Karlheinz Böhm, who became famous by playing the role of Emperor Franz Josef in the Sissi films, laid the foundation for the work by Menschen für Menschen in the early 1980s. "Anger is the main motive for my work - anger concerning the injustice between rich and poor," Karlheinz Böhm explained when asked about the motivation driving his work. His anger turned into aid for over 5 million people.
Principle Of integrated Sustainable Development
Our Approach
Together with the population, Menschen für Menschen implements measures in the areas of agriculture, water, education, health and human development (and income) in an overall concept. All areas of life are interconnected, and the various coordinated measures enable regions to develop sustainably. As a result, entire regions become independent of outside aid in the long term.
