Start[edit]
The association "Endulen e.V." was founded from Maria Dillmann, MD and Florian Schneider, MD. They went after their university entrance diploma as temporary missionaries to Tanzania.[1] After their return to Germany they decided to improve the situation of the local people in Tanzania. So they founded the nongovernmental organisation (NGO) "Endulen e.V. – Trage es im Herzen mit!" Since the foundation of the association in 2008, more than 250.000€ of donations have been collected (Status October 2016) and numerous projects have been realized. The association was named for the small village Endulen in the north of Tanzania, in the middle of the Ngorogoro Conservation Area. The village Endulen has neither regular water supply nor electricity or regular streets. Excluded from civilisation and technical progress, the nomadic tribe of the Maasai is living in this area. The only paved structure in this area is the 72-bed clinic Endulen Hospital, which is responsible for the medical care of around 72.000 people.[2] In the meantime the projects of Endulen e.V. are not only restricted to the Maasai-Area around Endulen, but also other regions in north Tanzania will benefit.
Financing[edit]
Endulen e.V. is financed through donations and most of the donations are from private persons. Other financing is through fund raising and the calendar sales.
