Community

Find out how we at BuddhaStiftung foster community and support others on their path – and how you can get involved yourself.

The aid projects of the BuddhaStiftung

As a foundation, we are committed to using our reach and energy to support projects that directly help people in need. In this context, we would like to present two of our aid projects and ask for support – every little contribution helps!

Life and Hope - An aid project in Cambodia

The Cambodian aid program “Life and Hope” was founded in 2005 by Buddhist monks in Siem Reap. The World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat, a temple complex that attracts numerous tourists every year, is located nearby. “Life and Hope” has set itself the goal of improving the living conditions of people in the region who suffer most from poverty and disadvantage.

BuddhiRefuge - An aid project for women and children in need

Women and girls from poorer families who have no chance of education are often victims of human trafficking, prostitution and violence in Thailand. Women and girls find this protection in Rayong in Thailand, not far from Pattaya. There, the Buddhist nuns (Bhikkhunis) Dr. Lee and Rattanavali founded the International Women's Meditation Center Foundation (IWMCF).

Lernraum Knast - Mindfulness in prisons

The association "Lernraum Knast e.V." was founded in 2020 after five years of experience with
mindfulness training in prisons with the intention of making the time in prison
a time of reorientation.

Get involved yourself!

As a foundation, we mainly work on a voluntary basis and welcome anyone who wants to support our work through their own contributions. What could that look like?

Maintenance and design of the website (WordPress knowledge is an advantage) and support of social media activities
Proofreading and editing of existing and new articles and online courses
Foundation management, administrative tasks such as accounting
Communication with users via email and moderation of the members area
Supporting aid projects, writing project reports, publicizing projects and collecting donations

If you are interested in participating, please write to us at info@buddhastiftung.org! We look forward to a personal conversation with you.
