Help...

Most Waldorf schools, kindergartens, curative education centres and other Waldorf initiatives around the world receive no state funding. It is always amazing how such initiatives do their work in some of the poorest countries - with much idealism and little money ... and therefore often large deficits at the end of the year. Urgent investments are under these conditions very difficult to fund. Likewise it is very difficult to take children from poor families. In short - help is needed everywhere!

We welcome your interest in "Waldorf worldwide", whether it is general or specific for a certain setting you know about. The worldwide Waldorf movement and the many initiatives that characterise this movement can be supported in many ways:
 

- Donations: Designated of free donations which enable us to help where help is most urgently needed. All donations are passed on 100%.

- Individual sponsorships: Support an individual child on his or her journey through childhood - thereby you help a whole school.

- Membership: If you become a member you support our work spiritually and also - if you can - materially.

- Voluntary civil service: Young people above all can help directly through their voluntary civil service and naturally enrich their won experiences.

  Waldorf Schools, school classes - and naturally also kindergartens - can help strengthen the worldwide movement in many ways:
- Partnerships - take up active contact with a school abroad.
- Class partnerships - a whole class can support an individual child.
- WOW-Day - get active for one day to help the poorest children.
- Project classtrips - a classtrip to a project that needs help.
- Social practical - why not abroad?
- Donate - e.g. part of the takings from the Christmas Bazaar...?
- School magazine - can we report about our work or do you want to reprint some nice reports from around the world (with permission)?

   And of course much more:
- Birthday donation: If you already have "all you need": Ask your friends to make a donation for the worldwide Waldorf movement. We would be pleased to send you our flyer and e.g. our actual appeal for funds.
- "Advertising" in the best sense of the word: inform your friends and community about our work. Who would like to read our newsletter...? We would be pleased to send you our material to give it to interested persons.
- Experience: Waldorf teachers can do pioneer work for a time abroad.
- Perhaps you decide to donate some of your inheritance to the worldwide Waldorf movement.

...or you have other ideas!
