About us
”S’Einlädele“ is a social-deaconal shop-project with 3 branches:
- Shop sale and encounters
- coaching/ pastoral care
- humanitarian Ukraine-aid
S’Einlädele, founded in 1991, is approved as non-profitmaking and charitable by the taxation office. The establishment is led as an independent, non-profit organisation (gGmbH) operated by the “Evangelische Stadtmission Freiburg”, Germany.
“S’Einlädele” runs two shops in Freiburg in which everything can be found: essentials, rarities, antique valuables and beautiful things as jewelry, homewares, tableware, well-preserved clothes, shoes, dessous, toys, postcards, books, CDs, paintings etc. Besides, coaching and pastoral care is offered by skilled employees.
Both humanitarian projects established in the Ukraine, such as “Father’s House” and social-diaconal organisations, and people who have got into difficulties are supported by the amount realised, after the deduction of administration costs (employees, shop-, coaching- and office rooms, storehouse for relief supplies, transport fleet).
The projects in the Ukraine are financially supported by:
- Baden-Württemberg Stiftung, Stuttgart
- Bild hilft e.V., Hamburg
- Carl-Isler- Stiftung, Freiburg
During the last years S’Einlädele’s exemplary work has been awarded several times. Inge Kimmerle, foundress and long-term manager of the organisation, accepted the honours vicariously.
- Projektpreis der Evangelischen Landeskirche, 1996
- Medal of the order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, 2002 in Stuttgart
- Conferment of the European “Regio-Kulturpreis” (Pro Europa) for engagement in international understanding, 2007 in Freiburg
- Medal of Merit of Baden-Württemberg, 2011
Ukraine-aid
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine has become independent and has been trying to get economically on firm ground again which has not been successful so far because of corruption and mismanagement. Therefore, the country still urgently needs help from abroad.
Since 1993 S’Einlädele has given humanitarian aid in the Ukraine. The aid is based on the following principles: direct, specific and and precise, carrying the disposition “help to self-help”.
Several times a year a team of “S’Einlädele” flies in the Ukraine to survey the taken supporting measures and to work out precise steps for the development and establishment of projects with the people in charge. A close, trustful and continuous relationship to the employees of the organisations is significant for the “Ukraine-aid”. Some of the projects are interrelated and assist eachother financially and practicably.
All projects are financed by donations. The organisations in the Ukraine are provided with necessary commodity contributions given by German companies, communities, social organisations, families and single persons.
Every six to eight weeks a 40- ton- lorry is sent to the Ukraine. The collection in Germany takes place with a lorry belonging to S’Einlädele. In 2012 the lorry won’t get a license any more so that the organisation needs a new one and looks for a sponsor.
Some of the projects which have been established by S’Einlädele and are supported continually with financial donations and commodity contributions:
- establishment and maintenance of 3 residential homes in Kiev and Shitomir in which about 80 children live in a family-like atmosphere, raising up according to their age and getting adequate professional care. The children are orphans, half-orphans or derive from a difficult family background. In the last years over 180 former waifs could be released to begin an independent life, some of them go to university today.
- Establishment of an agricultural farm (about 200km far from Kiev); part of its profit is given to “Father’s House”
- Construction of a house including a bakery which delivers several schools. The complete furniture of the bakery was donated by a German bakery owner
- Construction of a home for elderly homeless or needy people
- Furnishing of a hair salon
- Sponsorship- project for children in the residential homes (at the moment 22 sponsorships)
- Humanitarian transporst of relief supplies (8-10 a year)
- Continuous support of families, single persons, elderly people and communities/ churches???
On top of this, several extra campaigns in support of the aid projects are realised by S’Einlädele throughout the year:
- Lent-campaign: “Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot”
- School-bag- campaign for Ukrainian children
- Christmas presents for children, poor families and elderly people in the Ukraine
- Benefit concerts with the Kiev Brass-Quintett, a professional emsemble that can be booked in Spring and Winter when it stays in Germany
”S’Einlädele“, founded in 1991, is a small Christian aid organisation belonging to the “Evangelische Stadtmission Freiburg”, Germany.
On top, 10 lorries a year with humanitarian aid go into the Ukraine.

🇩🇪 Liebe Unterstützerinnen und Unterstützer,
danke, dass ihr das Projekt „Miles for Malabon“ bislang so tatkräftig begleitet habt. Heute möchte ich auf meine nächste große Tour aufmerksam machen.
Am 15. August startet mein nächstes großes Ultracycling-Abenteuer – das Silk Road Mountain Race (SRMR) in Kirgistan. Der Wunsch, dabei zu sein, ist während des Northcape 4000 gewachsen. Die langen Asphaltstrecken durch Skandinavien haben mich neugierig gemacht, es irgendwann auch auf losem Untergrund mit dem MTB zu versuchen.
Das SRMR ist mit keinem meiner bisherigen Rennen vergleichbar. Schon deshalb wäre ich euch sehr dankbar, wenn ihr die Spendenaktion erneut unterstützt – damit wir das, was wir begonnen haben, weiter fest im Griff behalten.
Live-Tracking & Updates während des Rennens Das Rennen findet in abgelegenem Gelände statt. Dort ist Mobilfunk oft nur eingeschränkt verfügbar. Das Tracking erfolgt per Satellit. Dadurch kann es vorkommen, dass sich mein Dot eine Zeit lang nicht bewegt – das ist dann einfach so.
Ich werde versuchen, an Kontrollpunkten oder bei Empfang ein paar Nachrichten und Bilder zu teilen. Garantien kann ich dabei nicht geben – ich hoffe auf euer Verständnis.
Regelmäßige Updates In den Blogartikeln auf meiner Webseite findet ihr regelmäßig Neuigkeiten über die Vorbereitung in der heißen Phase im Juli.
Wofür eure Spenden konkret eingesetzt werden Wie auch bei meinen bisherigen Touren sammle ich Spenden für ein Projekt, das mir besonders am Herzen liegt: das Straßenkinderprojekt in Malabon, einem Armenviertel in Manila (Philippinen).
In den Slums von Manila – und insbesondere in Malabon – leben viele Kinder unter extrem schwierigen Bedingungen: Oft ohne festen Wohnsitz, ohne gesicherte Ernährung und ohne verlässlichen Zugang zu Bildung. Gewalt, Krankheiten und Perspektivlosigkeit bestimmen den Alltag.
Das Projekt hilft mit ganz konkreten Maßnahmen: - Täglich frisch zubereitete Mahlzeiten, damit die Kinder gesund und kräftig bleiben. - Betreuung durch engagierte Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter, die Zeit haben und ein sicheres Umfeld schaffen. - Bildung und Schulunterricht, um langfristig einen Ausweg aus der Armut zu ermöglichen.
Mit eurer Hilfe können wir diesen Kindern Hoffnung und eine echte Zukunft schenken.

Vielen Dank für eure Treue und euer Engagement. Gemeinsam können wir viel bewegen – im Sattel und darüber hinaus.
Mit sportlichen Grüßen Bert
🇺🇸 Dear supporters,
Thank you for your enthusiastic support of the “Miles for Malabon” project so far. Today, I’d like to tell you about my next big tour.
On August 15, my next big ultracycling adventure begins—the Silk Road Mountain Race (SRMR) in Kyrgyzstan. My desire to participate grew during the North Cape 4000. The long paved stretches through Scandinavia made me curious to try mountain biking on loose terrain someday.
The SRMR is unlike any race I’ve done before. For that reason alone, I’d be very grateful if you’d support the fundraiser again—so we can keep a firm grip on what we’ve started.
Live Tracking & Updates During the Race The race takes place in remote terrain. Cell service is often limited there. Tracking is done via satellite. As a result, my Dot may not move for a while—that’s just how it is.
I’ll try to share a few messages and pictures at checkpoints or whenever I have reception. I can’t make any guarantees—I hope you’ll understand.
Regular Updates In the blog posts on my website, you’ll find regular updates on my preparations during the crunch time in July.
How Your Donations Will Be Used As with my previous tours, I’m raising funds for a project that’s particularly close to my heart: the street children’s project in Malabon, a poor neighborhood in Manila (Philippines).
In the slums of Manila—and especially in Malabon—many children live under extremely difficult conditions: Often without a permanent home, without a steady supply of food, and without reliable access to education. Violence, disease, and a lack of prospects define their daily lives.
The project helps through very concrete measures: - Freshly prepared meals every day to keep the children healthy and strong. - Care provided by dedicated staff who have time to create a safe environment. - Education and school instruction to provide a long-term path out of poverty.
With your help, we can give these children hope and a real future.
