Clothing Donation Program : Thanks to @hanseatic_help and @isa, a full container of secondhand clothes arrived in Lebanon. 40% of the donation will be given to Fabric Aid - they have projects in Beirut, Tripoli etc. Then for the remaining 60%, our partner @salamladc will be using some of it for free-shop style distributions this summer, winter items for winterisation distributions later in the year, and will give a smaller portion of it to their clothing-based microbusinesses for their stock. Great achievement. Big thanks to @salamladc - our dearest partner @hanseatic_help - who provided the clothing @independent shipping agencies (isa) - who organized the shipping and financed everything @seasky - who handled everything in lebanon #doingood #nonprofit #summer #socialwork

Exciting Updates from our Makerspace Courses! We are already in the second cohort for all three courses. The most recent makerspace course has an attendance rate of over 90%! Our participants are Syrian refugees, but this time we also have one Lebanese participant joining the courses. There already is a long waiting list for the next cohorts with more participants eager to join! #doingood #refugeeaid #Makerspace #Lebanon #Syria #socialentrepreneurship #education

The pandemic has affected us in many different areas of life, including education. In Hamburg, around 17,800 young people have started a vocational training in 2020. These are 8.1% fewer than in the year before, as many businesses struggle to continue internship or apprenticeship placements. Thus, initiatives in Hamburg such as from the Hamburg Institute for vocational education work closely with different sectors to create new apprenticeship opportunities for students. With our Education: Strong! programme, we hope to support these efforts and help to ensure a good job perspective for the Hamburg youth. If you are interested in this topic, please check out the Education: Strong! programme on our website, or follow this link to the Education Report Hamburg 2020: https://hibb.hamburg.de/wp-content/uploads/sites/33/2020/12/0099_BO-Ausbildungsreport_2020_1911.pdf #educationforall #hamburg #socialentrepreneurship

We have launched our new technology course! Over the last seven weeks, the students of the Stadtteilschule Ehestorfer Weg learned about the basics of app design and prototyping. Here, you can see a snip of their self-made paper-rock-scissor app. All buttons are interactive and the game can connect multiple players! The students were thrilled to be able to see their self-made apps on their own smartphones, and so are we!

The world continues to struggle with Covid-19 - with the current second wave of the coronavirus in many countries, people are once again facing strict lockdowns and a declining economy. Also Lebanon, where an explosion in Beirut last summer has already strained the healthcare infrastructure of the country, encounters rising numbers in new infections and a fragile economy. We want to help, and hope that the situation will allow for an easing of the lockdown measures soon. Then, we will pick up our Makerspace Project once more, providing education to those in need. #standtogether #covid19 #secondwave #lebanonrefugees #refugeeaid

After the recent fires in Moria, the world has turned their attention to refugee camps and the poor living standards that they are facing every day. We have recently come across a moving article on a Syrian family in Jordan who has become a victim of refugee camp fires as well. These fires are so often spreading through electricity shorts of poorly installed wires. In Lebanon, many camps too struggle with the dangers of poor electrical wiring. With our Makerspace Project, we are providing small crafting workshops, teaching refugees how to properly set up electrical wires in their homes and community. If you are interested in this topic, please check out the link below, and help us to raise awareness by sharing this story with others. Together, we can make a difference. http://ow.ly/39td50Bybgk #refugeeaid #educationforall #refugeeslebanon

On the 4th of August Beirut suffered from a massive explosion with over 170 people being killed and thousands injured. Almost 2 weeks after the explosion an estimated 300.000 people are still without homes and in urgent need for everyday supplies. Therefore we want to ask you to help and donate. You can either donate directly to us via: http://tiny.cc/doingood To Impact Lebanon: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/lebanon-relief?utm_term=PYp7gXzyD Or to the Lebanese Red Cross: https://www.supportlrc.app/donate/ In either case the money will be directed to help the victims of the explosion in this difficult situation! Furthermore we will be organizing a fundraiser for clothing, blankets etc. which will then be shipped to Beirut during the next weeks. We‘ll share additional information soon! Big thank you to everyone donating! (Picture: AFP)

Thank you for helping us make protective masks against Covid-19 for Syrian refugees! If you haven’t donated yet, today is the chance to donate directly to our fundraiser.

Help us fund Covid-19 masks for Syrian refugees! Thank you to everyone who has donated so far! 6.6 million Syrian refugees now live outside their home country, spread across the world. During the Covid-19 crisis, three refugee women are sewing protective masks for the local community. The refugee women learned to sew as former participants of our Makerspace Lebanon project with our great partner @salamladc . The women are now bringing their skills to good use. It takes one woman about an hour to make ten masks, which are distributed in the tent settlements. A donation of 15€ would fund 10 additional masks to help fight Covid-19 in the refugee settlements in Lebanon. Please donate via PayPal, link in Bio. #fundraiser #Refugeeaid #Covid-19 #refugeeslibanon #staysafe

Help us fund Covid-19 masks for Syrian refugees! During the last weeks, we raised money to produce 200 protective masks for refugees in Lebanon. Nevertheless, the need for protective masks is still extremely high in the tent settlements. These settlements do not make social distancing possible, so producing these masks is vital in order to keep infection rates low. With 750€, we would be able to produce 500 additional masks. This way, we do not only provide additional masks but also provide job opportunities for the Syrian refugee women, former participants of our Makerspace project with @salamladc , who sew these masks. 100% of your donation goes into the mask production. Please donate via PayPal, link in bio. #covid19 #refugees #fundraiser

In unserem Projekt „Ausbildung: Stark!“ werden wir von der NORDAKADEMIE-Stiftung unterstützt! Danke, dass ihr als Hauptförderer unsere Workshops für Hamburger Jugendliche möglich macht und damit zur Bildungsgerechtigkeit beitragt.

(English below!) Heute wollen wir euch unser Projekt “Ausbildung: Stark!” vorstellen! Durch Workshops an Hamburger Schulen wollen wir Bildungsgerechtigkeit fördern. Bereits Anfang Februar haben wir ein Projekt gestartet, an dem neun Schüler*innen teilgenommen haben, die an einer handwerklichen Ausbildung interessiert sind. Die Teilnehmenden haben Grundlagen in der Holzverarbeitung von unserem Tischler-Meister Jasper gelernt und sind geradezu begeistert von dem Projekt. Leider musste das Projekt aufgrund von Covid-19 pausiert werden, aber wir drücken die Daumen, dass es bald wieder weitergehen kann. Für das nächste Schuljahr sind in mehreren Schulen Prohjekte in den Bereichen „Holzverarbeitung“, „Technologie“ und „Elektrik/Mechatronik“ geplant. Stay tuned! Today we want to give you an introduction into our Hamburg project. In different workshops aimed at middle and high school students in Hamburg, our goal is to contribute to educational equity. In February, we started a project with nine students interested in a craft training. The students learned woodworking basics from our master carpenter Jasper and were highly satisfied with the program. Unfortunately our woodworking project is currently on hold due to Covid-19, but keep fingers crossed we can resume our project soon! #hamburg #education #socialentrepreneurship

Help us raise funds to sew protective masks for refugees! Lebanon is currently home to some 900,000 refugees who have fled Syria’s bloody civil war. COVID-19 is one of the major risks that now threatens their lives. This week, we are raising funds to buy materials for protective masks. The masks are sewn by refugee women, former participants of our Makerspace Project with @salamladc and distributed to vulnerable communities in Bequaa Valley, Lebanon. With as little as 1,50€ per mask you can help us fight COVID-19 in the refugee settlements. Donate via PayPal: Link in bio. Thank you for your support! #covid19 #refugees #socialentrepreneurship

Coronavirus Update: Due to the Coronavirus, both our Projects in Lebanon and in Hamburg are currently on hold. In these uncertain times, our number one priority is to protect the Syrian refugees and vulnerable populations. Therefore, all our activities in the refugee settlements have been postponed until further notice. We’re keeping fingers crossed that things can return to normal soon. Until then, please follow the instructions to protect yourself and others. Stay healthy, and keep on doin’ good! #stayathome #washyourhands #flattenthecurve #coronavirus #covid19 #nonprofit #engagement #socialentrepreneurship #volunteering #refugees

Meet our Team! During the next weeks we will shortly introduce all the team members behind doin' good. This week: Malte 📸 Malte is currently finishing his Master's Degree in Lisbon, Portugal. He is responsible for all topics around media at doin' good. So if you see pictures or videos from our project it was most likely shot by him.

Our second cohort started workshops this month 🙌 Right after the first cohort graduated from the 12-week program last month, we started the preparations for our second cohort with our local partner Salam LADC. We are proud to announce that over 40 participants enrolled in our woodworking, electrical work and sewing workshops! We are beyond grateful for all the support we have received over the past months and the great feedback from our participants! A big thank you to everyone who has supported us thus far 🙂 Let's keep on doin' good

What’s your impact? 🤷‍♂️ Today and during the next two days Malte is visiting the ImpactFest and the EVPA Impact Investing Conference in The Hague. It is a great chance to discuss and learn about the impact we can create as an organization and how to measure and improve it 🙌 #doingood #volunteering #refugees #makerspace #nonprofit #lebanon #socialentrepreneurship #social #dogood #impactfest #impactcity @impactcity

This Monday Hannah and Meike had the chance to get to know our Start Social coaches and some other contestants. During the next 4 months we will now have weekly meetings with our coaches to further develop our idea of doin' good 💪 #doingood #volunteering #refugees #makerspace #nonprofit #lebanon #socialentrepreneurship #social #dogood #100xsocial

Big CONGRATULATIONS are in order: Our first cohort just finished their training! You rock 💪 In ~12 weeks the trainees improved their employability by learning fundamental skills in woodworking / sewing / electicity and improved their basic living conditions while doing so. A big thank you also goes out to our partner Salam LADC سلام : Without you all of this wouldn't be possible! #doingood #volunteering #refugees #makerspace #nonprofit #lebanon #socialentrepreneurship #social #dogood

doin‘ good in Berlin - Federal president Frank Walter Steinmeier honored around 4000 volunteers for their social commitment at Bellevue Palace. Meike got the chance to participate as one of them to represent doin’ good! Not only did she get the chance to promote doin' good but also to connect with other German NGOs. We are very happy to constantly raise awareness for our projects 🎉🙂

On Sunday we were guests at Master Mind Brunch Hamburg - our new cooperation partner! In addition to financial support, the team around Robin, Lea, and Leo gives us access to their exclusive network of entrepreneurs, enterprises, and personal development experts. Lars had the chance to introduce "doin' good" to the group and was immediately able to immerse in exciting discussions with new friends and supporters. Thank you very much for this great opportunity, we are looking forward to a great cooperation! @mmb_hamburg

Carpentry workshop progress: Following the first weeks, where the participants learned about safety, how to use the tools and how to built a small cabinet, they are now starting to built beds they get to take home! #doingood #volunteering #refugees #makerspace #nonprofit #lebanon #socialentrepreneurship #social #dogood

What is quite impressive about Lebanon is the Lebanese hospitality: Regardless of the host’s situation, you will always be offered tea, coffee, a snack - whatever they can share. #doingood #volunteering #refugees #makerspace #nonprofit #lebanon #socialentrepreneurship #social #dogood

After the initial set up, Hannah and Lars spent two weeks in Lebanon to ensure smooth daily operations of the makerspace project. We are happy to say that everything is working according to plan and that the workshops are making great progress. #doingood #volunteering #refugees #makerspace #nonprofit #lebanon #socialentrepreneurship #social #dogood

This is what the wiring inside the tents looks like - before the workshops! During the electricity workshops, the participants work inside the tents, fix the wiring and set up fuses to reduce the risk of fire due to short circuits. 🔌💡 #doingood #volunteering #refugees #makerspace #nonprofit #lebanon #socialentrepreneurship #social #dogood

A short teaser video showing some first impressions of our makerspace project in Lebanon. Stay tuned for more 👍 #doingood #volunteering #refugees #makerspace #nonprofit #lebanon #socialentrepreneurship #social #dogood

Most people would expect large formal refugee camps. But in reality, there are more than 1000 informal settlements spread all over the Bekaa Valley. #doingood #volunteering #refugees #makerspace #nonprofit #lebanon #socialentrepreneurship #social #dogood

Power outlets, fuses and wiring. In our electricity workshop, it's all about setting up safe electric circuits. Would you know how to set up the correct fuse for your living room? #doingood #volunteering #refugees #makerspace #nonprofit #lebanon #socialentrepreneurship #social #dogood

Last week we supported Salam with their opening of a community garden. It was great to see the neighbours come together and the kids dance and sing. #doingood #volunteering #refugees #makerspace #nonprofit #lebanon #carpenter

FIRST ELECTRICAL WORKSHOP We kicked off our first electrical class with huge excitement. 8 Participants listened carefully to the safety instructions and finished up with the first hands-on experience. In the next session on Sunday, we will already head over to one refugee settlement to fix some of the bad connections in the tents #doingood #volunteering #refugees #makerspace #nonprofit #lebanon #carpenter

On tuesday we went to buy all the materials for the carpenter workshops. We were lucky to have Mohammed from Salam with us to translate and help us. #doingood #volunteering #refugees #makerspace #nonprofit #lebanon #carpenter
