GIVE
The "Barnabas Children Center e.V." and "Barnabas NPO Schweiz" are our dearest projects - two registered associations in Germany and Switzerland to support the school in Kenya!
The Barnabas e.V. Team:
We are Patrick, Lisa, Joachim, Ronja, Josefine, Annika and Jonathan and are all somehow connected to the school. Before the foundation of the association in October 2019, we partly hardly knew each other, but our common motivation to make a difference in this world unites us. We all work entirely on a volunteer basis and put our hearts and souls into helping the children and staff at Barnabas.
The Barnabas NPO Schweiz Team:
Our association was founded in 2025 and is recognized as a non-profit organization in Switzerland. The three of us, Ronja (who is also active in the German e.V.), Luzia and Irina, have all been supporters of the Barnabas Children Center for many years and decided to found a Swiss organization together. This allows us to reach people right where we live and inspire them to support the Barnabas Children Center. We, too, work completely on a volunteer basis for the association.
Our ultimate goal is to create a sustainable project in order to make it independent of donations in the long run.
This includes, for example, the construction of solid buildings and wells. We are also very supportive of the large fruit and vegetable plantation, which will produce its own food and also breed rabbits, cows and chickens.
In addition, the children receive further support after they have finished school to enable them to start a career and lead an independent life.
All future measures will also be implemented according to the principle of sustainability.
If you would like to support us, whether with a school sponsorship for a child, as a supporting member of the association or for individual projects, we would be very happy to hear from you. Here you can find more information about the local needs.

We're delighted that you're here and that you're making the world a better place with us!
