Obituary
Office of Foerderkreis Kenia Freudenstadt e.V. — Published February 2025.
Through his long experience as a deacon and his work in Kenya, Mr. Dieter has advanced the society's work in a constructive and diverse way. As coordinator of the aid projects, he has made a significant contribution to improving the living conditions of numerous people in Kenya, a very special matter close to his heart. The focus here was always on working for those in need, in keeping with his Christian attitude, as an expression of charity and neighbourly love.
His passing leaves a big void. We will honor his memory and continue the society's work in his spirit.
Our condolences go out to his children and their families.
The entire board of
Foerderkreis Kenia Freudenstadt e.V.
(founded in 1992)

The Society's Name Changed
Office of Foerderkreis Kenia Freudenstadt e.V., Germany. September 2015.
Dear visitors of our web site: we would like to inform you that there was a small but important change of the official name of our society. There also being societies with a similar name in other cities, we decided to officially include the town we are registered in into the society's name. Before this change took place, we just added "Freudenstadt" to our name. From now on, the society's name reads as follows:Foerderkreis Kenia Freudenstadt e.V.This change does not affect any of the projects sponsored and we would be glad if you would continue to stop by at our site and assist us in doing our work in Africa.
Project Trip to Kenya 2013
In February 2013, three society members were travelling to Kenya to visit part of the projects and individuals that we sponsor. Another objective of the trip consisted in further coordinating our project work in Africa. A report on their stay in Kenya is currently being translated from the original German version into English and will be published soon.
