Projects

We already donated over € 1.813.448,35 to several water projects with the help of our partners. We are working on the EARTH philosophy since 2007 and made donations to several partners in the first three years. In 2011 we decided to make donations to water projects only. Scroll down to see some of the water projects that are completed with the donations by EARTH Concepts.

    Project Tjommie

    Donation: €6000

    Good news from South Africa! With a donation of €6,000 we were able to help Tjommie install two water tanks that provide access to clean drinking water to roughly 1,000 families. Tjommie stands for "Friend" in South African, because of the poor living environment for the children there, a friend who offers help can be of vital importance! Unfortunately, the effects of the COVID pandemic are also noticeable here. That is why the help is unfortunately needed even more than before.
