KLEINE HILFSAKTION e.V. – Help that arrives!
A visit to Cambodia in February 2007 became the life’s work of Roland Debschütz and his then-partner, Kerstin Schalk. With deep personal commitment and donations from Germany, they wanted to help alleviate the suffering of people in one of the poorest countries in the world. What began with purely private activities during repeated trips to Cambodia eventually morphed into a registered non-profit association in 2010.
Kleine Hilfsaktion e.V. works in Cambodia, Laos, Kenya, Tanzania, and Germany. The focus is always on people. We help in life-threatening situations, secure livelihoods, and provide access to education. We supply schools with safe drinking water and provide for those who urgently need new shelter.
Our projects are always goal-oriented and can be implemented rapidly due to short decision-making processes not requiring months of meetings. Our high flexibility allows us to react quickly and unbureaucratically to different needs and thus differs fundamentally from most other organizations.

Our Values
TRANSPARENCY
We use all donations in a clear and understandable way. That creates trust; because without trust, we cannot work.
SHORT DECISION PATHS
To be able to react quickly to disasters or to assist in an emergency, we talk less – and do more.
LOW ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
You can’t do without – but our costs are low
PERSONAL CONTACT / NO ANONYMITY
We are few, but all of us are real. You can talk to us, and you can reach out to us. Your money does not get lost in anonymity.
LEARN FROM MISTAKES
We also learn – every day – with every project.
IDEAS ARE OUR ENGINE
To create a sustainable and effective project, we need ideas. Our own, those of our supporters and those of the target group – ideas motivate us.
EVERY CONTRIBUTION COUNTS
We take all support seriously and are grateful. Mostly it is monetary but sometimes also practical. Without your support, our work would not exist.
