We’re delighted: three young women who grew up at AMPO will start their nursing training in Kiel on the first of April 2026. This marks the first tangible results of our “Hand in hand – to combat skills shortage” project.
Once they had passed the B2 German language course at the Goethe Institute in Ouagadougou and following several online interviews they were accepted as trainees at the Paritätische Pflege SH. Thanks to the careful preparation by our Board Member Thomas Pfeiffer and the team in Kiel, the young women are guaranteed a warm welcome when they arrive. We admire their courage and sincerely hope they will soon adapt to their new environment in terms of climate, culture, language and everyday life.
An added highlight is that the NDR TV broadcaster will accompany them for two years with a documentary about their experience.
We wish them bienvenues – welcome!
And there’s more to come.
As from this summer two other young women from the AMPO Orphanage will come to Amrum, an island in northern Germany, to start their training in the hotel and catering industry. This is a courageous step on their way to a career based on self-determination, an opportunity which would have been impossible without support.
Your support opens up this way.
We urgently need donations to help pay for travel, visa fees, and money to tide them over until they get their first paycheck.
Every donation opens up the perspective of a new start in life.
