HAND IN HAND FUND - funded projects 2004

In 2004, we sponsored 11 projects with a total sum of 42,000 Eur in the countries of origin of our HAND IN HAND raw materials.

With the Christmas donation of 10,000 EUR we supported two projects with 5,000 EUR each. One 5,000 EUR donation went to the Dhamma Vijaya Community Development Foundation in Sri Lanka. The donation was used for a kindergarden and a daycare center in the vicinity of the cocoa mill that supplies cocoa chips to Rapunzel.

The other 5,000 EUR donation was used to support a pilot project for the construction of a solar-powered medicine cooling system in an Ethiopian health station.

The donations went to the following projects:

Gila Kriegisch, Michael Spielmann, Joseph Wilhelm, Erika Blank, Jürgen Resch, Michael Hadamczik, Heike Kirsten
