We are happy to have been able to start four new rounds of microcredits in November and December 2017. Over 100 families are profitting through our program and we are hoping to reach over 130 families in 2018. Next to financial support we also offer teachings in how to budget wisely and even extend their business in a sensible way.

It has become a tradition at Dandelion already – the annual charity run at the High School in Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn. The fourth in a row took place on July 14th this year. The students ran around their school building zealously – thereby supporting numerous families in the Philippines that desperately need help. Thanks a lot for your engagement, for the donations and the cooperation of the school administration and the parents’ council. We are looking forward to next year!

The proceeds will be donated – as last year – to Dandelion – Hands on Charity International e.V., which will spend it on numerous aid projects. We want to say thanks … Read More
