Somero Team Germany

Our voluntary team in Germany consists of young people who are either young professionals or study at university. Many of us have already lived in different African countries working in a variety of development projects. This has allowed us to gather insights on the difficult education situation existing in many countries. As some of us were only able to attend university as beneficiaries of educational scholarships ourselves, we now want to do our share so that other young people have access to a similar opportunity for education.
