Siddhartha was founded in August 2018 by Anna & Donatus Albrecht to help and support young people in difficult circumstances to follow their personal life path.
The goal of the Foundation is to promote the education of disadvantaged children and young people and to accompany their education.
Our focus is on having a close working relationship, and direct communication, between the foundation and the recipient. Once a successful application has been made, a tailor-made plan of support will be worked out together.
Education, scholarships, coaching and assistance in business start-ups are financed.
We are also committed to equal opportunities in the German education system. Therefore, we offer free remedial classes for children in need of help in the 3rd and 4th grades. We help them to overcome their personal learning difficulties and increase their self-esteem.
GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.
Hermann Hesse, Siddharta
As Hermann Hesse describes in his book Siddhartha, every individual must walk their own path. Wisdom can’t be taught; reflection and personal development are the necessary tools to find one’s vocation.
Education, training, and career counseling help young people on their individual paths - we want to support them in following it and achieving their goals.
APPLICATIONS
We assist committed, young people from socially-disadvantaged backgrounds, such as orphans and children & adolescents from underprivileged families.
To have a comprehensive understanding of the applicant, we kindly request a detailed application including a cover letter, curriculum vitae, certificates and references.
Please submit these to a.albrecht@saa-stiftung.de.
