Gerald Asamoah Stiftung für herzkranke Kinder

About us
The Gerald Asamoah Foundation for Children with Heart Disease supports selected projects that aim to help children with heart disease and their families - because congenital heart defects are the most common organ malformations in newborns worldwide.
The foundation was set up by Gerald Asamoah, who was a professional footballer for almost 20 years and was runner-up in the 2002 World Cup with the German national team. It is not a matter of course that he was able to experience this - because at the age of 19 he was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect. The end of his career loomed.
But he was able to continue his career. His promise at the time: I'll give something back.
That's why he set up his foundation for children with heart disease in 2007. Out of gratitude.
