“It feels the same.”
We want to create and promote a successful, enriching diversity of cultures in Germany, and in doing so, to take both our roots and our future into account: namely with regard to the children.
Our Mission
Children are the foundation of our world. According to a well-known Indian proverb, “we have not inherited the earth from our ancestors, we have borrowed it from our children.” Children are the future of our society. Everything that we give to our children and everything that we invest in their development and education for peaceful coexistence in a culturally diverse society can and will always contribute to making our planet a better place to live in the future.
Therefore, the SARIAS Foundation dedicates the core area of its work to children especially. Our focus is on teaching children the importance of universal values such as love, respect, appreciation, and tolerance, and making these human values tangible for them in everyday life. Through the transmission of such elementary, universal values, children are able to learn from an early stage of their development that the things that connect people are always stronger than those that divide them.
Our Values
The SARIAS Foundation supports the education and upbringing of children, as well as their cultural and social development. Our goal is to contribute to a positive future by teaching children universal values and their significance.
LOVE
TOLERANCE
RESPECT
HONESTY
APPRECIATION
SINCERITY
