Hearts4Change: Education that comes from the heart
Since 1999, the PATRIZIA Foundation has reached 600,000 children in 12 countries across 4 continents. With Hearts4Change, we have launched an exceptional campaign that could allow us to open access to education, healthcare, and welfare for a total of one million children by 2030. Support us in realizing this ambitious vision for a better future.
Through your support of Hearts4Change, you become a true “person of the heart” for us. Regardless of the amount, your donation symbolizes your commitment to the future of children and our special initiative. We promise: Every donated Euro, Pound or Dollar goes directly to our heartfelt project.

Our heart project in India
The donations from the Hearts4Change campaign go 100% to our new flagship project in Odisha, India – our PATRIZIA School in Muniguda. In the region, every fourth person cannot read or write. To increase the literacy rate, the school is set to be expanded with additional floors, comprising 10 new classrooms, two science labs, a library, and a computer room. This expansion will nearly double the number of students.
Together with training for the teaching staff, we enable qualitative education in the 25 villages of the region. The model school is the first on-site school with a holistic concept that goes beyond basic education. With its expansion, the upper school will be introduced, and digitized teaching will be offered, creating new perspectives beyond the traditional structures of the region and facilitating easier entry into the job market.
This holistic education, especially for girls, provides an alternative to early marriage and child marriages. Adolescents no longer need to drop out of school to financially support themselves and their families.

“For me, education is a way to make the world a fairer place. I was taught this principle from an early age. A good education opens up opportunities to shape one’s own life. With better access to education, we move closer to the goal of providing equal opportunities for everyone.”

“Education is more than just learning to count, write and read. Education is the fundamental to understand the world, but also the ability to navigate in it. Education is more than just knowledge; it is also about developing problem-solving skills, encouraging critical thinking and, of course, building self-confidence. Why are these things so important? Because they are the essential elements that enable us humans to turn our future dreams and career desires into reality. That is why education must be easily accessible for everyone. Education ultimately serves to establish social justice.”
