Help Alliance

HelpAlliance was founded in 1999 by staff members from all parts of the Lufthansa Group. It is a voluntary, non-denominational, politically independent organisation. For many years Mrs. Sabine Weber (3rd from left) was the patroness of the organization. In the anniversary year 2009 she handed over the patronage to Mrs. Bettina Lauer.
HelpAlliance members oversee 14 projects. They include schools, start-ups, educational establishments, orphanages, projects to support street children and bush hospitals in Africa, Asia and Latin- and South America.
When a disaster strikes, we always try to help wherever possible. We did so after the severe flooding in Mozambique and India, Brazil and the Philippines, the flood disaster in Dresden and surrounding area, the earthquake in India, Peru, Iran and Pakistan. Approximately, one dozen of reconstruction projects in the affected countries India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Indonesia have been realized following the tsunami in December 2004.
Apart from the continuously funded projects of the HelpAlliance members and the emergency relief, HelpAlliance supports an ever increasing number of projects by Lufthansa colleagues who need financial aid from HelpAlliance to realize specific measures.

Lufthansa staff members are personally responsible for ensuring that donations are used correctly, and that the money reaches those affected by the disaster in full. On the spot they are supported by competent partners.
