2007

Volunteer work in Nigeria

In 2007, when our Chairwoman Jennifer Westholt returned to Germany from voluntary service in Nigeria, she talked to her friends and family about her experiences. We all agreed immediately: together we can achieve more!Dafür bedankt sich das Adesuwa-Team!

Foundation

2007

Cooperation with “Child Aid International”

Initially we worked together with a local Nigerian NGO (“Child Aid International“) to organize a monthly “Kids Club” for orphaned children in Lagos. Through information and charity events as well as flea market sales we received enough donations to provide monthly food packages and medicine for the children in the Kids Club.
