The Hamburg-based foundation steps for children is looking for a fundraiser (m/f/d) in Hamburg, part-time, as soon as possible

About us

Since 2005, steps for children has been committed in Namibia to enabling children from the Informal Settlements who lack basic resources to access education and nutrition. What began with a preschool group for 30 children has now grown to over 2,000 children and young people, who are cared for, fed and supported by 71 employees in eight educational institutions at six locations. Alongside our educational work, we establish small businesses, create jobs and provide qualifications for our employees. The surpluses generated flow to our institutions and finance the activities on site. Our long-term goal is to become less dependent on donations. This commitment is already supported by a large number of German and Swiss companies, foundations, private donors and schools. Together with this strong and growing network, we create opportunities and take responsibility.
