    About this project

    S. Appel from Children for a better World e.V. is responsible for this project
    With the proceeds of this campaign, we empower several hundred children and young people growing up in poverty in Berlin and supporting them in starting out in life with courage and self-confidence. The BMW BERLIN-MARATHON will waive all entry fees and your donation will go in full to the supported children and young people.

    Four partner institutions of Children for a Better World in deprived districts will be supported: Kreuzberger Musikalische Aktion, Drugstop KARUNA, Stadtvilla Global and MädchenSportZentrum Kreafithaus.

    The CHILDREN lunch tables and CHILDREN discovery activities are financed here.

    2.9 million children and young people in Germany are affected by poverty - that is more than one in five children. With the CHILDREN Discoverer program, we are working to combat the consequences of child poverty in Germany and strengthen the development of children from deprived neighbourhoods. To this end, we work together with more than 70 partner institutions in more than 50 cities across Germany.

    CHILDREN LUNCH TABLES
    Poor children often have an unhealthy diet. They are more often ill, malnourished or overweight. They are less able to concentrate at school and therefore get poorer grades. Our lunch tables break this cycle and provide the children with a balanced meal every day - far too often the first meal of the day. In addition, the children learn to shop, cook for themselves and value a healthy diet.

    CHILDREN DISCOVERY ACTIVITIES
    Children from poor families often never learn to ride a bike or swim. They have never visited a theater, taken a trip to the countryside or seen the sea. Our discovery activities enable children in poverty to leave their confined living environment and gain new experiences. Experiences that should be part of a normal childhood and are important for a successful, self-determined future.

    If all 100 slots are filled, 25,000 meals and up to 50 discoverer activities can be realized, thus sustainably empowering several hundred poor children in Berlin.
