Today, we are not just celebrating a birthday…
We are celebrating impact, courage, and real change.
🤍 Happy Birthday, Maurice Bork!
✨ The moment that changed everything
About 2 years ago, Maurice had a simple idea for his birthday:
👉 Instead of gifts… ask his community to sponsor a child.
What happened next?
It didn’t just help.
It changed our entire world.
💔 The challenge we were facing
At that time, we were under immense pressure.
More than 100 children were growing up and moving into secondary boarding school
→ which means double the cost of primary education.
Suddenly:
• many children needed a co sponsor
• or their current sponsors needed to double their support
And honestly…
👉 We were scared.
We were facing the reality that some children might have to
leave school and go back home.
🚀 Then Maurice stepped in
Maurice didn’t just support.
He mobilized an entire movement.
And today?
💥 267 sponsorship plans exist thanks to Maurice and his community.
Hundreds of children whose futures have completely changed.
Over the past 2 years, a total of €158.357,00 has been raised
through 3081 donations.
A movement that shows what is possible when people come together.

After inviting 22stars Foundation Founder Stella Airoldi onto his podcast
(listen to the episode here)
Maurice turned inspiration into action.
He encouraged his entire community to step in and sponsor children.
And they did.
🌱 New Partnerships, Real Impact
Through Maurice Bork’s network, we also connected with Daniel Schlegel and his Foundation: Daniel Schlegel Umweltstiftung.
Together, we have already built several solar-powered kitchens in Uganda.
As our work goes beyond school.
We run multiple programs that empower children not only in the classroom, but wihtin their communities.
Reducing firewood use
Protecting the environment
And improving daily life for the communities we serve.
A powerful reminder of what becomes possible
when the right people come together.
