The income of church agencies and dioceses in Germany will continue to decline in the coming years. We are therefore looking for alternatives to use our funds in such a way that our partners are helped to become more self-reliant. And to use our funds multiple times where possible through revolving fund projects.

We have therefore been working together with "Starkmacher Impact" for some time now. The aim of the collaboration is to support our local partners in reducing expenses and generate income. "Starkmacher Impact" has the capacity and expertise that we do not have.

If we succeed to help our local partners to generate income, they will be able to reimburse subsidies or become donors themselves instead of being takers.
