In 2025, a particularly special Christmas celebration took place in Ibondo once again – made possible by the generous support of numerous donors.A total of 230 children participated in the celebration and experienced an unforgettable day full of joy and community. For many of them, such a celebration is anything but a given. All the greater was their excitement when, in addition to a shared Christmas meal, there were also drinks and small gifts. Particularly popular this year were T-shirts, which were handed to the children with beaming smiles.The Christmas campaign thus once again demonstrated how much can be achieved through collective commitment. In previous years, a shared meal and small gifts have already become a tradition that represents a special highlight for many children.But the aid extended far beyond the Christmas celebration in 2025: Thanks to the donations received, clean water supply for families in Ibondo could once again be secured. Clean water is not a given in this location, but rather a fundamental prerequisite for health, education, and a dignified life. Previous projects show that through this initiative, numerous families gain permanent access to clean water and children are able to attend school regularly in the first place.The 2025 Christmas celebration thus symbolizes what is possible through solidarity: bringing joy, creating opportunities, and securing vital resources. Heartfelt thanks go to all supporters who made this possible.
