Projekt Kleine Engel

The project is represented in Germany at least once a year – with the exception of the two years affected by the pandemic – to present the Little Angels project at festivals, schools, to sponsors, and at lectures – and is grateful for every donation for the children! In addition, the project purchases products that are difficult to obtain in Namibia – for example, Christmas items.

​

The question arises again and again as to whether it makes sense to initiate donations in kind. With postage costs increasing rapidly in recent years, it's not worth sending a package. For the postage costs alone, the included material assets can be bought new on site. A collection campaign in Lore and Maik Bohm's hometown led to a container transport of used clothing and toys. But due to customs, port fees, rent, storage and transport on site (who can store a container) the costs were so high that such an action is not repeated.

​

Since the project was founded, people from California, Germany, Switzerland, England, Austria and Norway, among others, have visited and added materials intended for donation to their luggage. These are mainly consumables such as crayons and pencils or coloring books and well-preserved children's clothing. On this occasion, the visitors got to know the supervised kindergartens themselves and handed over their "souvenirs" - a great form of donation! A good example is Peter and Niki Sattaur from England. They were so enthusiastic about the project that they decided to go shopping in Swakopmund - and significantly increased their backpack donation!
