We provide the funding, their organisation builds with the communities. Lalahe and Lazaro are our partners, not our employees.

Everything is carried by the network.
The association is carried by the whole network: everyone who pays a monthly crew contribution, lends a hand or drops by a meet-up. The crew contributions cover all of the association's costs in Germany, such as the notary, website, materials and bank fees. That's why donations can go 100% into building schools.
If you want to join in: from a monthly crew contribution of €3 you are part of it, cancellable at any time.
