In November 2003 we found our NGO Chance auf Leben e.V. (Chance of Life). Since 1976, Chairwomen Rita Römert-Steinau holds strong ties with non-government and non-profit organizations in India, with a special focus in the megacity of Mumbai und its adjacent rural villages.
Our commitment is coined by the beliefs that help for self-help through education and vocational training is the only way for socially disadvantaged girls and women to get out of adversity and poverty.
Our vast experiences proved that it makes the biggest impact when we invest in the much needed and pivotal school and vocational education for girls and women. Getting profound school and vocational education is the key to escaping the cycle of societal discrimination and leading a fulfilled life.
We visit our projects and the cooperating local organizations at least twice a year to secure a stable work flow and the sustainable and immediate use of our financial resources.
All work is performed voluntarily and unpaid. All flight, travel and accommodation costs are carried out by us.
