Ukraine: Fleeing the war
Join us in helping the people in Ukraine who are suffering from the armed attacks in their country.
In February 2022, after Russian attacks on large parts of Ukraine began, the Friends of Waldorf Education became active on various levels - including an immediate appeal for donations to support Waldorf schools, Waldorf kindergartens and special education facilities in Ukraine. A great wave of help flooded in, through which we were able to achieve a lot. Learn more about our work in Ukraine.

International Waldorf Fund
The International Cooperation Fund is an independent donation fund, with which the Friends of Waldorf Education can react to urgent requests from abroad. Currently, the means of the International Cooperation Fund amount to only 3-4% of the total volume of donations. To respond in a timely manner, we urgently need more independent donations! Get involved! Help us answer important requests from Waldorf educational initiatives. By doing so you can help create vibrant learning environments for children.
