Funding Secured for the Peaceful Community at Amount of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars
In a significant move to aid sick and injured children who cannot be helped in their home countries, North Rhine-Westphalia has earmarked €600,000 in its 2021 budget for the work of Friedensdorf International. This decision was announced by Stefan Zimkeit, the state parliamentarian for Oberhausen-Sterkrade and Dinslaken, who also serves as the budget and finance spokesman for the SPD state parliament faction.
The funds will be utilised for medical case-by-case aid, providing crucial support for the organisation's efforts in war and crisis zones. Friedensdorf International has already demonstrated its commitment to helping such children, with numerous successful aid projects to its name.
Stefan Zimkeit emphasised the importance of Friedensdorf International's work, stating, "The work of Friedensdorf International is crucial for medical aid projects in war and crisis zones, as well as for peace education work." He also expressed his gratitude to the staff at Friedensdorf International for their commitment.
The city of Cologne has also shown its support, earmarking an identical sum of €600,000 in its 2021 budget for Friedensdorf International. This combined funding will significantly boost the organisation's own funds, ensuring a well-funded organisation that can continue its vital work.
The final decision on the 2021 state budget will be made in December, and Stefan Zimkeit assumes that the earmarked funds for Friedensdorf International will be approved. The medical aid projects and peace education work of Friedensdorf International depend on a well-funded organisation, and this support from North Rhine-Westphalia and the city of Cologne is a welcome boost.
In conclusion, the efforts of Friedensdorf International to aid sick and injured children in war and crisis zones are of utmost importance. The support from North Rhine-Westphalia and the city of Cologne will enable the organisation to continue its life-saving work, providing hope and healing to those who need it most.
