YOOW e.V. - Young and Old for One World

Young and Old for One World: younger and older people who want to create a fair and liveable world together. We carry out development work on the African continent in close cooperation with local partner organizations.
In Malawi, together with the Chiuno NGO, we are building the Chiuno Cultural Center, which includes a kindergarten, an elementary school and opportunities for vocational training and medical care.
YOOW was founded in 2004 and has successfully implemented projects in Sierra Leone and training programs for young refugees in Berlin since 2008.

About YOOW e.V. - Young and Old for One World

Target group(s)

YOOW is aimed at people of all ages - especially younger and older people who want to get involved across generations. We appeal to anyone who wants to make the world a better place with curiosity, openness and new ideas and who is keen to get actively involved.

Founding year

2004

Funding

We finance our projects primarily through grants. The association works exclusively on a voluntary basis and with very little administrative effort, so that as much of the funds used as possible flow directly into the implementation of our projects.

Objectives

YOOW e.V. pursues two overarching goals:
Project work together with young people and senior citizens
and intergenerational development work on the African continent together with our local partner organizations.
