✨ Stiftung steps for children was awarded the Peter von Zahn Memorial Prize as part of the Hamburg Citizens' Prize 2025! ✨
The Prize
The Hamburg Citizen Award was founded in 1982 by CDU Hamburg. It sees itself as a politically completely independent award that honours people and institutions in Hamburg who have rendered outstanding service to the common good. The Peter von Zahn Memorial Award is presented for the commitment of Hamburg institutions and personalities abroad.
On behalf of the entire steps team, which enables children and young people in Namibia to have a chance of a better future through education and training and, as social entrepreneurs, found small businesses in order to strengthen local communities through jobs and training opportunities, foundation founder Dr Michael Hoppe gratefully accepted the Peter von Zahn Memorial Award.
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Prof. Dr. Michael Göring for his appreciative words: “The Civic Award/Peter von Zahn Award aims to acknowledge and make even more visible what you and all your colleagues have achieved in Namibia. By presenting the award to you, we want to show what the non-profit commitment of a person who sees themselves as a Social Entrepreneur can achieve in just under 20 years.”
We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the award recipients who were also honored last night as part of the Hamburg Civic Award: the organization Hände für Kinder – Kupferhof gGmbH and light artist Michael Batz.
