Jonas Kunow (bord of directors of the Bewusst-Sein Foundation) lived in Argentina for several years. Inspired by the need to support the Maria Luisa Children's Home in Buenos Aires financially, he proposed the idea of supporting this initiative through the foundation. In April 2024, he visited the children's home in person to gain a detailed understanding of the project's needs and quality.

Through monthly funding, the Bewusst-Sein Foundation contributes to creating a safe haven for children and adolescents growing up in difficult circumstances. The donation provides them with access to education, healthcare, and compassionate care. Here, they find security, joy, and the essential support needed to launch into a better life – especially children without parents or with parents unable to care for them due to addiction, criminal activity, or other challenges.

Donation Usage:

• Covering operational costs (e.g., personnel, operating expenses, procurement of necessary goods)

• Funding educational and health programs

• Conducting renovation and construction projects

• Funding recreational and developmental activities

Project Amount: €400.00 per month
Funding Start Date: October 2024

Maria Luisa Children's Home

Aileen Thomsen, a member of the foundation's board, has maintained a close relationship with a school in Uganda for many years. Inspired by the school's need for a computer room that would give the children access to the internet and educational programs, she proposed the idea of supporting this endeavor through the foundation. The foundation subsequently decided to fund the project.

Use of donations:

• 15 computers (including monitors, keyboards, mice, software), 1 projector, 1 printer.

• Computer courses for the students.

• Room renovation.

Project total: €3,205

Date: May 2024

Bulondo Hope Primary School

Since 2020 we have supported a wide variety of projects for women in Tunisia - and we continue to do so. Together with partners in Tunisia, particularly in Douz, we are promoting steps toward gender equality. We support the following goals:

• Women can appear in public alone

• Women can engage in work

• Raising awareness among women of their existing rights to equality, divorce rights, and the right to start their own businesses

• Women participate in desert tours organized by "Zeit für Freiheit"

Women's Projects in Douz, Tunisia

Participation in the One-Spirit Festival (2019 & 2020) was made possible through a cooperation with the Jonathan Seminarhotel and Jonathan Consulting GmbH, where vehicles from Jonathan Consulting GmbH were made available for shared use. Our stand was perceived as particularly authentic, and the stand area was provided free of charge, creating an inviting meeting point with a fire pit, desert tea, and dates. This presence at the festival not only increased awareness of the foundation but also helped to gain new supporters. Thanks to sponsorships, the foundation incurred no costs for this event.
