“A single man does not help, but those who join together with many at the right time.” ~ Goethe
TransformationWithin is proud to support this inspiring organization – FriendCircle IndiaHelp . Look for upcoming Webinars highlighting this important initiative!
The ‘FriendCircle IndiaHelp’ is a private initiative. It was founded by Alexandra and Frank Schmitz as well as by the physician Michael Dykta and further friends. All of them are working on a voluntary basis and finance their travel and subsistence expenses themselves. They support and help regardless of any religious, political or social background and objectives. They guarantee that 100% of the donations are spent for the children and handicapped on the ground in India.
They give support by:
+ providing food, vitamins and clean drinking water
+ offering basic medial provision
+ providing education and teaching aids
+ providing the necessary clothing
This is realized by:
+ a flexible organization with mobile operation teams
+ supporting of projects and small organizations on the ground
+ avoiding bureaucratic expenditures
They want to avoid:
+ spending donations in bureaucracy and administrative procedures
+ enrichment of third parties due to corruption
