New Project MINERVA

rico — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 10:46:19 +0000

MINERVA ist ein neues Projekt der HARDCORE HELP FOUNDATION, inspiriert durch den Verlust unseres geschätzten Mitgliedes René. In seinem Sinne soll die Kraft der Musik genutzt werden, um denjenigen Hoffnung und Freude zu schenken, die gerade durch die vielleicht schwerste Zeit ihres Lebens gehen.

Wenn du jemanden kennst, der an Krebs erkrankt ist und sich nach einem unvergesslichen Konzert oder Festival sehnt, dann weißt du, dass einem Ticketkauf häufig hohe medizinische Kosten im Weg stehen. MINERVA macht es sich zu Aufgabe, diesen Menschen ihre musikalischen Herzenswünsche zu erfüllen, denn wir glauben, dass Musik einen unbeschreiblichen Einfluss auf das Wohlbefinden hat.

FÜR WEN IST MINERVA?

Unser neues Projekt richtet sich an alle Menschen, die gegen Krebs kämpfen, unabhängig von Alter und Krankheitsverlauf, sowie ihre pflegenden Angehörigen. Wir unterstützen sowohl jene in aktiver Behandlung als auch diejenigen, die sich auf dem Weg der Genesung befinden oder auch Personen, die unheilbar krank sind.

DEIN WUNSCH AN MINERVA

Wir nehmen konkrete musikalische Wünsche entgegen und setzen alles daran, diese zu realisieren. Sende bitte deinen Wunsch an minerva@hardcore-help.org und teile uns deinen Namen, deine Adresse und Telefonnummer mit. Wir werden unser bestes versuchen um deinen Wunsch möglich zu machen!

EINSCHRÄNKUNGEN & HINWEISE

Bitte beachte, dass wir derzeit keine Wünsche außerhalb Deutschland erfüllen können. Unsere Kenntnisse der lokalen Musikinfrastruktur ermöglichen es uns, in diesem Bereich zuverlässig zu agieren. Außerdem können wir leider nicht garantieren jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen.

Um Transparenz gegenüber unseren Spender*innen und Unterstützer*innen zu gewährleisten, werden alle erfüllten Wünsche sowohl auf unserer Website als auch in den sozialen Medien dokumentiert.

Wheelchair Project

rico — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 12:46:23 +0000

The aim is to help improve the social participation of people with disabilities by promoting mobility. Both are important factors in the fight against the vicious circle of disability and poverty and contribute to greater independence. Since 2013, HHF has been collecting around 100 used wheelchairs and other walking aids every year and refurbishing them at its site in Lüdenscheid. The target groups are people with walking disabilities in Germany and abroad, with a focus on Germany and Kenya in particular, most recently as part of aid deliveries in Ukraine. This enables us to provide for up to 250 people a year.

In Kenya, our local partner organization Nathan Hall Williams Centre (NHWC) runs a rehabilitation center for people with disabilities in Nakuru. NHWC takes a holistic approach and offers daily physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and trauma therapy for people who are unable to receive medical care for economic and social reasons. The center also has a community outreach program where the therapists visit people who live further away or cannot afford to visit the center. The delivery of mobility aids is one component of the collaboration between NHWC and HHF. There is also a workshop on site where wheelchairs, walking aids and crutches can be measured and then adapted to the respective needs. This ensures the sustainable use of the mobility aids.

In Germany, we support facilities that help the homeless, particularly in the Rhineland and Ruhr regions, by providing hygiene and health products, including mobility aids. We work with facilities that offer various forms of support and assistance to several thousand homeless people every year.

Rehabilitation Water Projects with Fundifix

rico — Wed, 03 Oct 2018 15:08:38 +0000

Fundifix and Hardcore Help Foundation joined forces to fight the water crisis. Access to clean and safe water is a human right, yet worldwide more than 785 million people have no access to clean and safe drinking water. Unsafe and dirty water kills more people than any violence, including war, with most of it being children under five years old. Join us and support with us communities in need!

How we make a difference

We follow 3 guiding principles to ensure the best implementation to support local communities with access to clean and safe drinking water:

1) 100% of funds go directly to the project. We can achieve this as we run the charities solely on a volunteering basis. In our private lives, we are teachers, entrepreneurs, investors, and engineers, and many more things.

2) We automate the water systems and implement real-time monitoring. This allows the community to track their water systems at any given time and provide 100% transparency to our donors.

3) We strongly believe in the independence and empowerment of local communities. We involve local community members at every step of the decision-making process from scoping the project to understanding what they require. We also provide the community with the ability to digitally collect payments to maintain their water systems. This allowed us to provide more than 7.8 million liters of water on our 2 last projects in Kenya and the local communities to raise more than $9200 to maintain their water systems leading to minimize the breakage of the water system.

How we will tackle the local challenges

The community is facing tremendous challenges. Currently, access to water is unsafe and unhygienic. The risk of catching transmissible diseases by local community members since humans and livestock are sharing the water source. On top of that, the water source has a limited capacity with only 1 tap leading to long queues and limited delivery of water to the local community. Our renewal will ensure that the community can use the water source in the long term with access to clean and safe water and provide income to the local community to maintain the water source. Improvements will involve constructing a water kiosk with more taps to reduce queuing time. Install a water ATM to ensure users can fetch water 24/7 and reduce operating costs as no operator will be required. In addition, local social enterprise FundiFix providing professional repair and maintenance service to KPS.

How you can help

With the aim to fund a Waterkiosk implement a new water infrastructure and taps and a trough for cattle, as well as provide maintenance services to the local community. Make a difference with us. Throughout the project, we will keep you updated so you can follow your impact throughout!

Homeless Assistance

rico — Thu, 27 Oct 2016 08:30:25 +0000

We are committed to providing support to homeless people and families in need.

Since our foundation, we have been working with our donors to provide homeless people, refugees and families in need with a basic supply of clothing, hygiene products and urgently needed items. Over the years, we have had the opportunity to make a significant number of deliveries to homeless shelters and refugee camps in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece and France.
Every donation helps to maintain our infrastructure and enables us to guarantee and expand our deliveries.

In Germany, we focus on supporting facilities that help the homeless, particularly in the Rhineland and Ruhr regions. This includes the provision of personal hygiene and health items as well as mobility aids. We would like to point out that we continue to work with facilities and initiatives abroad that offer various forms of support and assistance to several thousand homeless people every year. We always strive to provide support where the need is most urgent.

Rehabilitation Center in Nakuru

Felix — Sat, 19 Mar 2016 13:31:45 +0000

In April 2016 we build a rehabilitation center out of the container we shipped in 2015 together with an architect Till Gröner. We distributed the hundreds of wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, and medical supplies that you donated to us over the past two years. Mobility was given to many and we’re seeing the impact our projects have on people with disabilities every day.
We believe that every individual has potential to do great things and we’ve made it our mission to support projects that believe in the same.
This center is special and our partners at NHWC provides Physio, occupational, speech, and trauma therapy every day to people who would otherwise go without. There’s also be a mobility device workshop, where people can be measured for wheelchairs, walkers, and crutches that will then be customized to fit their specific needs. The center also has a community outreach program where our therapists will go into the homes of people who stay further away or who can’t afford to make it the center.
We can transform the lives of people with disabilities with your help!
