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.

Support the projects

What counts in the end is that children receive support in order to live a self-determined and happy life. Support for this cause does not necessarily have to go via Crossing Borders, we are happy to create opportunities for direct engagement within the projects

School projects Theo Fritsche (Nepal)

The organization "Schulprojekte Theo Fritsche" supports the construction and operation of schools in remote locations in Nepal. Direct aid and reconstruction support have become the main focus of activities after the devastating earthquake in 2015.

Efforts to improve the Nepalese education system have mainly focused on cities and agglomerations. Rural and remote areas are still lagging far behind. The Theo Fritsche project is focusing its effort on these regions. By now, four schools and a technical academy (vocational college) have been set up. In addition, support was provided to a local orphanage. After the April 2015 earthquake, the focus was placed on providing immediate assistance (food, shelters, construction materials, etc.) and reconstruction support. Future plans include the renovation and enlargement of existing school buildings and the realization of the "Theo Fritsche Health Clinic".

How to support this project?

The project is searching for used medical equipment in order set up the »Theo Fritsche Health Clinic«, teaching material (textbooks, school supplies) and second-hand IT equipment. opportunities for voluntary engagement in Nepal are available. Finally, journeys to Nepal help to build up tourism and generate income for the local population.
