Detlef Mutterer
Chairman of the Board
“Education opens up opportunities and is the key to a better future. This is particularly true for Malawi and Zambia, two of the poorest countries in Africa. Working as a team and with our local partners to provide educational opportunities for children and young people is a meaningful and fulfilling task that motivates me time and time again.“
Karin Rose
Chairman of the Board
“Education is the key to sustainable personal and social development. By supporting education projects in Zambia and Malawi, we are strengthening individual potential and helping to build stable societies. Education enables people to overcome poverty, improve their health and actively contribute to the development of their community - an investment in a fairer and self-determined future, which we actively support and accompany.”
Philipp Hug
Chairman of the advisory board
“Education opens up prospects and is a central key to a better future. The Johannes Beese Foundation wants to give young people in the project countries access to high-quality education and thus open up new opportunities for them in life. The Advisory Board supports the Executive Board and the project team in this.”
Tabea Geißler
Project Manager Malawi
“In my role at the Johannes Beese Foundation, I am driven by the conviction that real change is only possible through empowering people to help themselves. I am motivated by the opportunity to strengthen local communities in our project countries and provide them with the tools they need to give their children and young people a better future. Through our close collaboration on the ground, we promote equal opportunities and educational equity, creating the prospect of a self-determined life for all.”
Justyna Hölzen
Project Manager Zambia
“At the Johannes Beese Foundation, I place great importance on working closely with local communities and organizations in Zambia. Their resilience and expertise are vital to the success of our common projects. I’m driven by the goal of empowering these communities to actively shape their children’s futures and create educational opportunities. To me, this respectful and equal partnership is key to building a better future for the next generation.”
