Every child deserves the chance of a happy, self-determined life. But millions of children around the world grow up in poverty – without education, medical care or prospects. The Foundation „Chancen für Kinder“ („Opportunities for Children“) is committed to changing this. Its central concern is to break the vicious circle of poverty for children, particularly in developing and emerging countries, and to give as many children as possible the chance of a life worth living.

We have already been able to support over 90 projects in 11 countries – in the areas of education, culture and medical care. Our vision: to enable children in developing and newly industrialising countries to lead a self-determined life.

Founded in 2004 by Prof. Dr. Maximilian and Birgit Gege, the foundation is supported by a voluntary team and board of trustees as well as committed partners from business and society.

The foundation finances its projects through donations from private individuals, companies and other foundations. Thanks to the minimal administrative costs, your donations benefit the projects virtually undiminished.

Help us to reduce the suffering of disadvantaged children and give them a better future and support us with a donation or become a long-term sponsor.

We would be happy to inform you personally about the donation options and the foundation.
