In Ethiopia, many young people have a hard time finding an education and a job from which they can live well and feed their families in the future.
That's why we have teamed up with the SELAM aid organisation and launched our first social-electrical project: Bender@SELAM.
That's what it's about:
We enable 20 young people in Ethiopia to train as electricians and electronics technicians. In this way, we want to support them in building a professional future for themselves.
Our task:
We secure the costs for the 3-year training of the entire class. And because these trainees inspire us so much and the project is a matter of the heart , we would like to share this project with you and move it forward together.
With Bender@SELAM, we want to give a chance to those who would otherwise have few opportunities. With this initiative, we enable young people to build a future for their lives with a professional foundation.

The association "Ethiopische Kinderhilfe SELAM e.V.", founded on 4 February 1995, is a humanitarian aid organisation that supports and promotes needy children and young people in Ethiopia.
SELAM offers up to four-year vocational training programmes inspired by the Swiss dual apprenticeship system (30% theory and 70% practice). In their own industrial, agricultural and hospitality businesses, apprentices can learn practical skills in 9 vocational areas. SELAM also works with external companies for internships. They are taught the basic theoretical and practical knowledge at our vocational school.
