About us

Weitblick is a students’ initiative from Münster, which, since its foundation in February 2008, has been registered as a non-profit-making organisation for worldwide equal educational opportunities. There are now further Weitblick branches in the universities of Berlin, Bonn, Duisburg-Essen, Cologne, Hamburg, Leipzig and Marburg.

Absolute transparency is the basic maxim of our work. We ensure that aid reaches the people it is intended for, by personal contacts in the projects we promote.

Our guiding thoughts are mediate, facilitate, educate.

What we do...

• We act as agents for young adults and students to work on social projects – worldwide. In doing so, we put emphasis on members of our organisation having been on the spot, so that they know the situation there. Only those who have seen it for themselves can fully understand it.
• We assist children and young people. We support selected schools and job training facilities financially, and provide basic materials such as school books or tools for job training. Because education is the best vaccine against poverty.
• We are involved socially in Germany, establishing numerous actions and projects. We organise national and international educational trips for young adults, as well as holding lectures, and discussions with experts in theory and practice. Travel broadens the mind.

On request I/we can offer other net participants advice or a presentation, and we can provide up-to-date information and contacts in the field of our work.

Es kann losgehen! Im Mai 2009 legt der Münsteraner Student und weitblicker Jörn Henser gemeinsam mit den Partnern von prodogbo den Grundstein für das neue Schulgebäude in Midangbé (Benin), das weitblick komplett aus Spendengeldern finanzieren konnte.
Schon 7 Monate später (Dezember 2009) können die weitblickerin Clara Thomas und Klaus van Briel, Vorsitzender von prodogbo, die erste Schule in Benin eröffnen.
Da steht sie! Von nun an besuchen 150 beninische Kinder Tag für Tag eine weitblick-Schule. Der Grundstein (vorne links) erinnert an den Baubeginn im Mai 2009.
Wer hätte das gedacht? Schon im März 2010 kann der Bau einer zweiten Schule beginnen!
Im Rahmen einer zweiwöchigen Reise machen zwölf weitblicker Station in Kpogodou (Benin) und freuen sich, den Grundstein für die zweite Schule legen zu dürfen.
