About OOBW
Since 2014, OOBW aims to develop and support a network of organizations and foundations in areas in urgent need of financial support and expertise. Our foundation focuses especially on initiatives which provide education, safety and a stable living for vulnerable groups for whom these conditions are not self-evident.
OOBW is a relatively small foundation without personnel. The board members take full responsibility for the projects in developing regions and countries. The organization is supported by volunteers, as are the contribution of the board members.
