What is Crossing Borders?

We support children and young people in less-developed regions by improving their educational opportunities

Taking the statement "We change the world for the better" as its motto, Crossing Borders is focused on making a sustainable contribution in less fortunate regions of the world.

Education enables children and young people to lead a better and more independent life. If knowledge and experience are passed on, a sustainable and self-perpetuating effect is achieved that allows families and whole communities to progress. By focusing our efforts on poor regions, we achieve the most comprehensive effect with our available resources.

As an independent association, we have currently 190 members worldwide. Up until now, we have supported projects in 34 countries and on four continents.

What do we do?

Financial assistance and organizational support for projects

Crossing Borders offers financial assistance and organizational support to projects that improve the education opportunities of children and young people in disadvantaged regions of the world. In special cases, projects in other regions are also supported. More rarely, we support the charitable engagement of our associations members financially through donations.

Additionally, we also try to foster networks of knowledge exchange and communication activities that aim at enhancing social awareness and social competencies.

»CHILDREN-Nepal« works to promote the rights, welfare and development of children and youth living on the margins of society. The "Fulbari Resource Center" is conceived as a place where children and their families get an opportunity to catch up on missed learning and improve their educational attainment.

However, especially children are still facing numerous challenges stemming from caste hierarchies, gender discrimination and child abuse. The Fulbari Resource Center supports the community-building efforts of CHILDREN-Nepal and offers a wide range of trainings and workshops on different topics (career counselling, vocational training, family counselling and community building). The facility also off ers housing and food for the participants. Families in need are supported by microloans and fair-trade handcraft projects.
