The Founder of Stiftung Mein Beitrag

Mag. Laurenz Limberg, B.A.
» With all the suffering and injustice that is happening, it is important not to forget that we do not have to stand idly by and watch, but can make a small, individual contribution to bring about lasting change. Knowing that these children don’t have anybody who is willing to help, that’s my daily motivation in working for our organisation.«

Mag. Gregor Roesler-Schmidt, M.A., MBA
» Children who struggle daily in dangerous conditions to feed themselves or inherited debts that are passed down through many generations show me the need to change the inequality of the world a little. To do nothing knowing about these children would be wrong. «

Ing. Gregor Waltner, M.A., MRICS
» I am imaging having my donation being used for marketing and administration is leaving me in doubt it is used for the cause. I examined a lot of aid organisations focued on India – not one of them was meeting my expectations. By founding Sitftung Mein Beitrag it is now possible to contribute with a smile, for me and everyone else.«
