Social Commitment

Responsibility in our partner countries

As everyone knows, gemstones do not grow on trees; they are treasures that the Earth's crust keeps hidden, sometimes more and sometimes less. As an internationally active family business, we embrace our social responsibility in the countries with which we are connected through the gemstone trade.

In Tanzania, a large number of fathers and mothers are still dying as a result of the HIV epidemic. They frequently leave behind children and adolescents who are orphans or have lost one parent. The organization Partnerschaft für Afrika e.V. has launched a program to counter this, with a recipe for fighting poverty based on education and care from A to Z.

Isaline Arnoldi became aware of the organization through a shared hobby with its founder, Friederike Heidenhof. We have been actively supporting it ever since.

We want to give something back to the countries from which many of our raw stones originate.

Sponsorship for Japhet and Pendaeli

Japhet is 16 years old and is only in the second grade – before he came to the Partnership for Africa center, he could not attend school. He learns quickly and will catch up on a lot.

Pendaeli is 6 years old, attends preschool, and has since taken on the role of a big brother to the youngest ones.

The siblings come from a very poor family. At first, they were shy – today they laugh, play, and sing with the others and have the chance at a completely normal life.

On-site

Help that makes a difference

The founders of the association, Friederike Heidenhof and Dr. Günter Heidenhof, are personally on-site at least twice a year to oversee the projects and the use of donations. Through regular reports, we learn how the children are developing.

“

Our main priority is to help children get on the right path through schooling and further support, so that they can lead an independent life later on.

Vor Ort

Hilfe, die ankommt

Die Initiatoren des Vereins, Friederike Heidenhof und Dr. Günter Heidenhof, sind mindestens zweimal im Jahr persönlich vor Ort und überwachen die Projekte und die Verwendung der Spenden. Durch regelmäßige Berichte erfahren wir, wie sich die Kinder entwickeln.

It is always the people who keep a society running and hold it together. That is why we are happy to support the project.
