The Friends
Since 40 years, the Friends of Waldorf Education promote Waldorf education around the globe. Thus far we have been able to support more than 830 Waldorf initiatives worldwide. Each year 1.600 young people commit to a voluntary service and by the worldwide student campaign WOW-Day children get enabled to go to school. All our donations are forwarded at 100%. Furthermore, our emergency education program has been able to conduct urgently needed rehabilitation campaigns in many conflict areas.
Background
The Friends of Waldorf Education were founded on 10 October 1971 to serve this educational movement. Optimism and new awareness of the social tasks that lay ahead prevailed at the time when Ernst Weißert and Dr. Manfred Leist established the Friends.
