Welcome to the website of

Jappaleh Foundation

Jappaleh Foundation is a non-governmental organization (ngo), working closely with its sister organization in West Africa on a volunteer basis.

Our main focus is

poverty alleviation & health care

and includes the following actions, among others:

drinking water supplies

Water is a basic necessity for everything that lives: humans, animals, nature and agriculture. All people have the right to access clean drinking water. Yet it is not self-evident that everyone has access to clean drinking water. We would like to do something about that ...

food security and employment

Sustainable poverty reduction can only exist when people are no longer hungry. People who are hungry cannot develop as they would like. They are mainly concerned with what will the next meal be and where will it come from?

sanitary installations and hygiene

Clean water, sanitation and hygiene are critical to everyone's health and well-being. Every day, 1,000 children under the age of five die from causes related to poor sanitation.

scholarships and micro-credits

Promising students receive a fixed-term scholarship. They must repay the money when they graduate in order to
give their compatriots a chance as well.
