Good advice for Good purposes.

Seek dialogue and develop strategies to achieve environmental and social goals.

The Advisory Board advises the Foundation's management on issues of socio-political importance and supports the achievement of the 17 sustainability goals of the United Nations as well as dialogue with other social groups on environmental and social policy goals and strategies.

In addition to their technical expertise, the members of the advisory board bring one thing above all else to the Intalcon Foundation: the conviction and passion for enabling a dignified life on our earth while at the same time preserving the natural foundations of life in the long term.

Michael Stich

"Health is the greatest good of man. And especially children who suffer from a serious or even incurable disease need our help and compassion. That is why I am committed to helping children infected with HIV and affected by AIDS with my foundation. Reducing prejudices and make life a little easier for the affected families - this has been my motivation for more than 25 years of foundation work.

In accordance with Sustainable Development Goal 3 ‘of the United Nations - 'Good Health and Well-Being’ - I also represent the issue of health with conviction on the advisory board of the Intalcon Foundation."

Vita

Michael Stich's rapid rise to the top of the tennis world began in 1990 with his victory at the ATP tournament in Memphis (USA). The Wimbledon victory in 1991, along with the Olympic gold medal and the Davis Cup victory, was undoubtedly the most important sporting success of his career; the most emotionally significant win, however, was his triumph at Hamburg' sRothenbaum in front of his home crowd two years later.

In 1994, while he was still playing tennis, Michael Stich set up his own foundation, which to this day supports children who are infected with HIV or affected by AIDS. Just like as an athlete, Michael Stich is still tempted by new challenges - whether as a co-founder and supervisory board member of Hanseatic Rueckenzentrum Holding AG, as an investor in various start-ups, as a TV commentator for Sky or as a keynote speaker. Michael Stich lives in Hamburg with his wife Alexandra.

CORONA EMERGENCY AID MEASURES

The Corona pandemic is exacerbating the difficult humanitarian situation in the slum. Therefore, the project cannot currently be implemented as planned. Schools will remain closed throughout the country until the situation has improved. In order to respond to the current condition in the best possible way and to support the inhabitants of Korogocho in their fight against the spread of the virus, Corona emergency aid measures are currently being implemented:

-        Distribution of hygiene products and face masks
-        Maintenance of existing and provision of new hand-washing stations
-        Education on basic hygiene rules for handling COVID-19 through illustrations and hygiene messages on walls

This project is an example of CARE's great Corona emergency aid and will be supported by the Intalcon Foundation in the future. The concrete details of the funding are currently still being agreed. With its measures, CARE has already helped many children. But more and more children need help, and all children want a chance for a better future - far away from the rubbish dump.

With your donation, we can provide much-needed medical aid for corona prevention and offer children a better future.
