UMETA AccEpTs rEspOnsiBiliTy!<br />
We are fortunate enough to be able to live in an affluent society, but we also have<br />
an obligation to help peo<strong>pl</strong>e who do not share this luck.<br />
UMETA supports social institutions in Germany, for exam<strong>pl</strong>e the Children‘s Cancer<br />
Clinic in Bielefeld, sports clubs, charitable organisations etc. Since 2007, UMETA<br />
has also given considerable commitment to Tanzania, one of the 10 poorest countries<br />
in the world.<br />
For us at UMETA it is intolerable that one side of the world has <strong>pl</strong>enty, and that<br />
on the other side of the world abandoned orphans are starving or dying of AIDS.<br />
Anyone who has personally experienced this will never be able to banish the images<br />
as long as they live. To fight this appalling situation, we founded the Good Hope<br />
Centre funding association in September 2007 together with some good friends.<br />
Since then, our work at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro has been producing a home<br />
for orphans as well as a primary school. This Happy Watoto Homes & Schools<br />
in Ngorika provides “our” 120 orphans, in addition to 160 needy children from<br />
the local area, optimum future prospects through a protected childhood and good<br />
education.<br />
This “village” has been opened since May 2011.<br />
We are receiving considerable support from various directions such as business<br />
partners, personal friends, visitors to our funding events, well-known peo<strong>pl</strong>e or<br />
politicians. Despite this, we need to be able to permanently safeguard the operating<br />
costs for our home. I therefore ask you:<br />
Please help us! “Our children in Tanzania” depend on your help!<br />
