Before that, he had already demonstrated his deep commitment to social causes - as one of the first supporters of Bunter Kreis e.V., which provides aftercare for seriously ill children in Germany, as well as for organisations in Tanzania. His first trip to Africa, motivated by a desire to witness the impact of his contributions firsthand, became a transformative experience: in order to provide even more effective help, he set up the PATRIZIA KinderHaus Foundation - with the aim of bringing about long-term and sustainable change for generations, with responsible local project partners and a commitment to always support each facility for 25 years.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_1  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patrizia.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/remote-run-4.png\" alt=\"Kind in Krankenhaus Tansania, Kenia\" title=\"remote-run (4)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patrizia.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/remote-run-4.png 800w, https:\/\/www.patrizia.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/remote-run-4-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-258508\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_1\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patrizia.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/remote-run-5.png\" alt=\"Kinder in Schule in Alotenango\" title=\"remote-run (5)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patrizia.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/remote-run-5.png 800w, https:\/\/www.patrizia.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/remote-run-5-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-258506\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_1  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>The first project brought the Foundation back to Peramiho: in 2002, the PATRIZIA Children\u2019s Hospital was inaugurated. This initiative has become a regional success story, significantly improving healthcare in the area. In 2023 alone, the hospital treated 31,427 children as outpatients and 6,033 as inpatients.<\/p>\n<p>One of its success stories is Christian, who was born weighing only 1,200 grams. Thanks to the exceptional neonatal care at the PATRIZIA Children\u2019s Hospital, Christian is thriving today. His sister Hilda expressed her gratitude, writing: \u201cI want to thank the Foundation for building the children\u2019s hospital, where my little brother\u2019s life was saved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To date, the PATRIZIA Foundation has positively impacted the lives of 750,000* children and young adults worldwide through 25 KinderHaus facilities across 15 countries and five continents, offering them the chance for quality education and a self-determined life.<\/p>\n<p>We continue this journey together, with our goal to reach one million children by 2030 steadily within reach. With your continued support, this vision will become a reality.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0*The figure includes all children supported each year \u2013 individual children may be counted more than once if they have participated in our projects over multiple years.
