Main Mission and Values

edit

The mission of NARUD e.V. is based on the concept of "help for self-help" through the promotion of endogenous potentials. The organization aims to promote self-help and self-empowerment of people in African-migrant communities and to convey cultural values of African societies. Another focus is on processing the colonial past and opening civil society for intercultural dialogue[2][3].

Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

edit

NARUD e.V. is committed to contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The organization advocates for sustainable development and works on projects that aim to bring about long-term positive changes in communities. An example of this is the drinking water supply project for about 30,000 people in Cameroon, which has been implemented since 2022[1][3].

Through its diverse activities and partnerships in Africa and Germany, NARUD e.V. continuously works to build bridges between cultures and promote the participation of migrants in society. The organization remains an important actor in development policy and inclusive work, both nationally and internationally.
