Our projects are always developed in cooperation with other established associations in Germany on the one hand and NGOs in crisis countries, particularly in Africa, on the other. The preferred form of cooperation is as follows: A German association collects donations for its partner NGO and supports and advises the organization on all strategic issues.
The foreign NGO is responsible for the day-to-day project work in the construction and maintenance of social facilities such as kindergartens, schools, educational centers, boarding schools, orphanages, sports complexes, etc.
The Werner Erkes Foundation offers itself as a third partner for the financing of new or further major projects.

Together 
goes further

The foundation always strives for a long-term partnership, which also provides for the assumption of pro rata maintenance costs if required. The successful cooperation is based on a trusting, lively and intensive exchange. Fundamental decisions regarding the development of the projects are always made jointly.
No rule without exception: the boarding school and the sports hall in Victoria are owned by the foundation and are made available to the Lahai-Roi association free of charge. However, the close cooperation is comparable to that described above.

Our projects in Eastern Europe 
and Sub-Saharan Africa

In addition to the boarding school and sports hall in the border town of Victoria in Romania, further projects to promote education are also being considered in Ukraine and Bulgaria, for example.
