In this 2025 Year in Review, learn more about our activities in Austria and our project trips in 2025.
There are only a few days left until light once again triumphs over darkness, until the sun will give us renewed strength. Strength we all urgently need in an accelerated and hectic world.
The reception was warm, and the opening ceremony for the spacious new community center and the beneficial deep well was festive and captivating in an authentically African way.
In spring, several important workshops and training sessions were held in Awasi, Kenya, dealing with key issues of health education, personal development and career prospects.
Once again this year, Scheffau elementary school organized its annual charity run at the end of June. An event that has become an integral part of the school year and has served a specific purpose for several years: to support the Eroret School in Kenya.
We are delighted to announce that our Annual Report 2024 has now been published on our website and is available to download free of charge.
Easter is a special time of year for many people.
Easter traditionally stands for hope, confidence and solidarity – values that also guide our work at Austrian Doctors every day.
A tree planting workshop for the local community took place in Awasi, Kenya. The aim of the workshop was to raise awareness of environmentally friendly agriculture – and to convey concrete, applicable strategies. The participants worked, discussed and planted intensively together.
International Women’s Day is celebrated worldwide on March 8 – a day that commemorates the fight for equal rights and draws attention to the fact that women still face major challenges in many parts of the world.
Giving the future with a garden calendar – school project for the Austrian Doctors.
For us, Christmas is a celebration of joy, charity and community.
However, Christmas is not celebrated in the same way everywhere and traditions and customs differ from country to country. We asked children and project managers from our four project countries Kenya, India, Ethiopia and Bangladesh what Christmas is like for them.
During the project trip to Kenya, we had the opportunity to see many positive developments in our projects.
Water is life: Here in Austria it is a matter of course, but in many places in the world it is an absolute exception: clean drinking water, the wet gold.
In April 2024, our long-standing Awasi project partner passed away after a short, serious illness. There was a big farewell for Rose Omina with the whole community.
The big vacation is over – all our schools in India, Bangladesh and Kenya reopened their doors in January 2024.
A lot has happened in 2023! A big thank you to all of you – because it’s your support that makes our work possible! Find out more here in our review of 2023.
