Our Mission
The Hahn Air Foundation and Friends sees itself as a charitable platform which provides support to donors and project initiators, and which relieves you of the burden and costs of administration.
Many people would like to engage in a social, meaningful and sustainable campaign, but do not know how or where, or they simply lack the time. It is often the case that someone has an idea or a project close to their heart, perhaps due to personal experience or through their contacts. We bear the responsibility for administration, on-site supervision and public relations. This guarantees that every cent donated is channelled into the project.
In particular, we help women and children to find a way out of poverty, and to lead a free, healthy and self-determined life. For example, our projects support the development of health facilities, nurseries and social institutions. We are currently providing support to 18 projects, predominantly in developing and newly industrialised nations, with a total annual investment in excess of EUR 350,000.
As sustainable support is a central concern of ours, we facilitate projects over a time period of at least three years.
