WE AID Initiative

Project Summary

In 2022, PHINEO/ United Way Germany developed and launched the nonprofit organization WE AID as an initiative for handling short-term crises and emergency aid for victims of war and disasters.
The initiative offers a professional non-profit structure on a temporary basis to private initiatives and individuals, enabling them to implement their non-profit projects within a few days.
In collaboration with various partners, we can cover very real needs for civil society engagement and fully scoop that vast potential in private charitable commitment

Goal

We facilitate the implementation of individual visions of aid (national and international) and foster private charitable commitment in Germany overall.

Target Group

We provide private individuals and donors, companies and other civic actors with a non-profit structure to help realize their take on emergency aid.

Locations

WE AID´s efforts are situated reliant on the present crisis/ proposed project. Currently, the projects are realized in Germany, Ukraine, Afghanistan.

Activities

WE AID enables private initiatives and individuals to implement their personal charitable commitment within a few days. Thereby, WE AID contributes to the independent realization of civic activities and to the strengthening of social commitment.
