How you can help us
There are many ways to support us in our task to empower the women and children in India to gain a self controlled life. Mainly there are sponsorships, membership in our non-profit, single donations and volunteer work in India and the country of your origin.
Single donations:
For all donation/sponsorhip/membership queries please contact LearnForLifeDeutschland[at]gmail.com or transfer your donation directly into our account:

KtoNr.: 4013450500
BLZ: 43060967
BIC: GENO DE M 1 GLS
You can also donate online with your credit card, bank account or PayPal account by clicking below.
Please remember to advise us of your postal address either by mail or in the transaction details if you need a receipt of your donation!
Sponsorships:
With only €20 (around $24 or £14) per month you can ensure that a child receives 2 meals a day, adequate monthly healthcare (general, dental and ophthalmologic checks) and a school uniform. Apart from that we will spend the money on material for lessons and the school itself. Your donation will of course benefit all our children. To help the personal contact between sponsor and children, each child will paint something or write a letter for their sponsor every 3 months or so. If you want to see the situation in India with your own eyes you're of course always more than welcome. You can cancel your sponsorship with 3 months notice (so that we can always plan a little ahead) at any time. For more information or if you've got any questions, please email us at LearnForLifeDeutschland[at]gmail.com or give us a call on +49 (0)30 21758077.
Of course you can also sponsor a specific project of your choice.
Membership:
Membership fees are graded in the following way:
- From €2 per month for students, apprentices, the unemployed and the retired
- From €5 per month for the gainfully employed
Anybody who wishes to contribute more may do so!
We will use membership fees firstly to pay for our own administrative costs in Germany like notary- and court fees; printing/copying of flyers, forms etc; postal fees and the like. Everything surplus to our requirements – and this is most of the membership fees – goes straight to the project in Varanasi. For more information or in case you've got any questions, please contact LearnForLifeDeutschland[at]gmail.com or give us a call on +49 (0)30 21758077.
It is also possible to register a non-profit in your home country as a "friends of" or "Learn for Life, Whateveryourcountry". Our website is now available in English and Italian as well (and could be translated into any other language) so we could use the same web space, maybe co-ordinate fundraising activities etc. If you're interested please contact LearnForLifeDeutschland[at]gmail.com.
