The Ambassador - an important ally in favour of the Foundation
Our volunteer ambassadors are an indispensable support for our foundation. With great commitment, they take on a significant part of the administrative tasks and make a major contribution to our success. They also represent the Foundation to the outside world, communicate our vision and mission to the world and raise public awareness of our concerns. With their persuasiveness and authenticity, they create trust, gain supporters and thus strengthen the reach and impact of our projects.
They often visit our home and our facilities in Tanzania and provide valuable help for the children and the foundation. This work is completely unpaid – our ambassadors even cover their own travel costs to Tanzania.
We would like to thank our ambassadors for their dedication and commitment. Their contribution is invaluable to us and our work.
