What is a project sponsorship?
With a project sponsorship, you support a project of Tearfund Germany that helps people sustainably improve their living situation. As a sponsor, you support not only an individual. You support the entire environment. Your sponsorship provides water provision, agriculture, hygiene facilities, peaceful coexistence, education, and much more that people need to live in dignity. Development aid that counts!
What does it mean to be a sponsor?
As a sponsor, you ensure long-term aid that enables people to live a life free of poverty and injustice. We make sure that each sponsor is kept up to date on the development of the project. Every six months you will receive an updated Sponsorship Report. Your support is an important piece of the puzzle of a modern and efficient partnership.
Become a project sponsor and help the poorest.

Project sponsorship Somaliland
SOMALILAND IS LOCATED ON THE HORN OF AFRICA IN THE EAST OF THE CONTINENT.
According to international law, it is part of Somalia. However, it is an independent, but internationally unrecognized state. More than half of the population lives from nomadic livestock farming. Climate change is causing hardship. Less and less rain falls. When the rain fails, the fields wither. The animals don’t get enough food, and when they die, the people soon die along with them.
The long-term livelihoods of the people in Somaliland can only be secured in harmony with nature. Awareness must be raised, and the necessary knowledge communicated.
Project sponsorship Yemen
HELP IN YEMEN
Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the Arab world and has been almost completely destroyed by civil war. The situation in Yemen is catastrophic. According to UN reports is currently the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. More than 24 million people urgently need help; over half of them are children.
The focus of our work is water and sanitation, hygiene, as well as health and hunger relief.

“We are project sponsors because poverty robs people of their dignity. This must not happen. Tearfund receives our support because they provide people in need with respectful support and the experience of Christian love.”
