About this project

Michael Bohmeyer from WeFix.Social gUG is responsible for this project
Why do over 14 million people in Germany live in poverty? The answer is surprising: most of this poverty doesn’t stem from antisocial laws but rather from people who are entitled to social benefits not claiming them. Why not? Because they don’t know about the various benefits available, everything is too bureaucratic, and at times, it's even humiliating.

We're giving the social welfare system a new interface. With us, you get all benefits centralized, digitized, and automated. No more paperwork, forms, stamps, copies, uncertainties, incomprehensible letters, long wait times, or harassment.

You enter your data once, and the rest happens automatically. You receive all the payments you are legally entitled to. An AI advisor is available 24/7 via WhatsApp. You also receive free legal assistance from the start so that the authorities work reliably for you and your basic rights.

The downstream costs of poverty are many times higher than the costs of eliminating it. Every day we continue to afford poverty, we all pay a heavy price. The social welfare system is the best tool we have to overcome poverty. Unfortunately, it’s so outdated that it can only address half of the poverty in the country. At the same time, the welfare system is not reformable from within. We’re already experiencing the political consequences: the welfare state is being attacked and questioned. To save it, it needs reform – and we’re driving this from the outside by doing what the state should be doing: being user-friendly to function effectively.
