One Day e.V.

Qui sommes-nous

One Day is a young, non-profit association from Aschaffenburg with a clear message: Everyone can do something to make the world a little bit better.
One Day was founded in 2014 in order to be able to support and develop aid projects in an official setting. The primary goal is to help people to develop healthily and thereby have a self-determined future. All projects have the goal: help for self-help.
One Day is a non-profit association that has grown into a small social company. 20 active “One Dayers“ volunteer to support aid projects, most of which are implemented in Africa. To fund the projects, the One Day team conducts fundraising events, participates in events such as the #AKF or the Feast of the Nations and runs an online charity shop.

Projects:
• Sierra Leone Hope: The project's goal is to help girls between the ages of 12 and 17 who have been victims of sexual violence and have become pregnant. While our partner association takes care of the girls (victims), provides psychological support, and handles all the formalities relating to the police, hospitals, lawyers and the court, we look after the babies. We want them to grow up in a stable environment, be supplied with baby food and have access to medical care. We also want to secure the basics for their admission to school. That's why we look for godparents and supporters for the babies and are laying the first foundations for a unique project in Sierra Leone
• Sierra Leone - Kalia: We have been active in Sierra Leone since 2015. Our local independent partner organization „Commit and Act, SL“, oversees on-site activities and implements our previously agreed projects. After the severe Ebola epidemic in 2014, we took in over 90 full-orphan children in a region where 38 adults had died. We initially assisted with deliveries of food when all the structures had collapsed. Gradually, we built access to education, medicine and self-care opportunities. "Giving wings to people" and securing basic rights for children is at the heart of all our projects developed jointly with the communities.
• Namibia - Bikeshop: bike rental with a workshop in Hoachanas. Residents from Hoachanas have been trained to repair bicycles and in bookkeeping, and they now offer bicycles for rental and sale.
• Kenya - Kibera Talents: A Future through Education in Kibera. Our local contact is Erine Atieno. A great and courageous woman. Erine is committed to helping children to enter primary and, if possible, secondary school. Having achieved a good grade point average in Grade 8, the children qualify for secondary education and can generally continue their academic careers. However, a big obstacle for many is the high school fees of the secondary schools, which are mostly boarding schools.
