Welcome
Many of us want to get involved, to take responsibility for humanitarian issues and to help fellow people in need. When we support a charitable organiztion, we ask ourselves two questions:
1. Does my contribution make a meaningful and valuable difference for a humanitarian and sustainable development?
2. Does 100 % of my contribution really reach the people who need it?
We at Adesuwa want to introduce ourselves and answer both questions with “YES!“ Yes – with Adesuwa you can make a valuable contribution.
Our programs in Nigeria aim to sustainably improve the living conditions and future perspectives of needy children in Coker Village, Nigeria, and to build intercultural bridges.
Only through education can our children take their future into their own hands and act as multiplicators for their environment. We fly to Nigeria regularly to see for ourselves how our children are developing and to carry out special projects. Because we all volunteer our time and our work, we can guarantee:

100 % of your
contribution goes
to the children!
