And separate property with dozens of little houses on it is one of coping most unusual projects since 2016 this settlement has been providing shelter for people who have an especially hard life in india and suffer from discrimination transgender people known here as he dress surprisingly perhaps hardly any of the residents are coping members or even christians. The community provides support. Looked down on by Indian Society in general and often rejected by their families some of them form alternative families of their own. Many have learned a trade or even have a University Degree but its almost impossible for them to find a regular job most resort to begging or become sex workers the community here and having adequate housing helps them to get a fresh start. The next step will be to secure an income. While. Were also people in created by god we havent done anything wrong were like other people but nobody understands us. Everyone thinks that if they have anything to do with us well try to make them transgender. Society discriminates against us. Before cold pink got involved he lived here in huts that were often burned down or vandalized.

The kenyan capital nairobi the local calling association is taking german visitors on a tour of my target a slum where more than half a 1000000 people live in appalling conditions usually without electricity or fresh water theres no sanitation and no garbage collection the crime rate is very high. Level. If. You can establish the time i thought i think its very important to have seen Something Like this then you know what youre working for back in germany all of course its great to work on projects but when you actually see whats behind the work its so much easier to understand the bigger picture. At the center of the slum is a project started by some benedict sculpting family named after their parish in germany with the Training Programs in these weaving and carpentry workshops the coping family has been providing local young people with Vocational Training and helping them earn a living. But the mood here is currently tense the original partnership ended and a new one hasnt been found yet. Their movement. Been formally we dont doubt the partnership and that were probably even. In. Germany as a partnership so that we can work together. The outlook is brighter in our tire a province 150 kilometers from nairobi. The consul and. Families have strong ties with their german partners. China ouch and his wife patron head the german Partner Group and had been working with coke in kenya for more than 20 years they admit that it wasnt always easy but the partnership has withstood failures and disappointments. And some of my trips to kenya i did end up feeling a bit sad that things werent working out as intended. But this time i had the impression that everything was going very well as it makes me very happy that after more than 25 years this partnership is so strong that were welcoming the coping family. Doesnt. Mean they take pride in showing us their project. Some of the projects are ones that we sponsored. And i can tell the people ive brought here look thats where your money is going. One of the successful programs is the gold project the german visitors can see the results of their sponsorship. You have spent this. Yeah.

However the biggest problem is drought most of the 1300 coal being members in kenya are farmers access to water so that they can cultivate their crops is vital to their survival one idea has proved very successful vertical backs these plant banks help make the most of the water that is their most valuable resource. Projects with such a positive impact help make coping attractive to many people. I think a lot of interest by many people during the course. But of course they have to go by their membership conditions that one must be a good. And a citizen of this country and. So many people will not satisfy this and therefore we still have a Smaller Group but we are working for the community. There. Was. More than 80 percent of kenyas population is christian a quarter of these are catholics. 7 in the villages the orange clothing worn by the coal ping members is a common sight thanks to their social commitment and the success of their projects members are highly respected. The National Headquarters of culp in kenya in nairobi. Patrick yoker has been a National Director since 2013 he took up his post had a difficult time there was friction between members with various tribal affiliations. We are beyond. That. Theyre working with. And without bringing the politics and the trade war lynage in the cotton under for now we are saying we have grown beyond the tribal lines and you find out you. Are all mixed up. Faith has been working as a project manager at the National Headquarters for the past 3 years. She introduced the vertical bank project here. As an agricultural scientist she understands the problems that farmers face. Kenyas Management Team visits the various groups regularly face a movie also instructs the members on how to use the vertical sacks. A man challenge right now is their Climate Change because for their previous years on that i was not been aware so most of the groups they depend on are good and have ridden all rain theres a lot of drought and for them food is that it becoming a challenge. Its exhausting work and a michael drawing board is a routine chore. The well is 12 metres deep when im lucky i can get between 8 and 1020 later canisters but now in the dry season i can only draw forecasters a day sometimes even less what i. Then the water has to be carried. The drought is severe in this region it hasnt rained for months often people have to walk kilometers to fetch water. For them or tuna family and Josephine Patrick who are members of the key to lolo coping family the vertical banks ease their food shortage somewhat. But instead of 3 meals a day the people here have to make do with just one. And the 10000 liter water tanks donated by their german partners are no use at the moment because theres been no rain. Theres no one. Problem. When we get the money we buy. And then we find the money later on. But many families have been able to help themselves with a savings scheme table banking its called they form small groups with micro credit financing. Weve got. A long time alone they should not exist. And they. Take on the other week. To be paid back after week. Fulda a city in central germany is famous for its barrack architecture. The local coping organization is holding an event in the center of town. That virtually all the german diocesan sections are partnered with a country in the global south. Gauge within those regions is very strong of course its strongest in catholic areas because we have more members there. A crucial pillar of coal being internationals work is the willingness of germans to donate. In infancy. In the more than 40 years weve been running the Brazil Campaign now called the one World Campaign weve collected more than 2000 tons of secondhand clothing and more than 5000000 euros in cash which we used to sponsor projects. Back to india to the coping families and their milk cooperative in money on Party Village they were able to start the project in 2010 after receiving a donation of 7 cattle. One cow produces about 80 liters of milk each day that provides families with an additional income of about 200. 00 rupees or 2 euros 50 a day. The women take the milk to a collection point some 270 liters are brought here each day. The greater the fat content the higher the milk price. Twice a day a tanker collects the milk and takes it to a dairy. And then by by the want to go business took off in 2013 and became profitable. And it was even better the next year were not the only ones who have been profiting so have all the coping members and our Village Community as well. I mean that i have the last. 2 kilometers from headquarters in chennai india has set up a model farm at the center the father of the movement. The project aims to show local people that organic farming can be profitable as well as environmentally friendly for instance how organic compounds can replace chemical fertilizers. The Training Center is in the middle of the farm gulping is currently offering sewing courses to local women here. Many of the women want to learn sewing for some its an outlet for their creativity for others its their only source of income.

But only this election was supporting my husband and running this business gives me courage and selfconfidence im going to leave it ive been a lot of that but. Her husband also works in her business by her side which is still unusual here in india. Ive shared my experience through my wife she thought shared with a lot of work with.
