Sometimes all it takes is one journey to see your own life in a new light. For Andrea John, a wealth adviser in private banking at Stadtsparkasse Düsseldorf, it was a trip to Uganda – over 35 degrees, red earth and the shining eyes of children that changed everything.
Together with her husband, she has been volunteering for more than a year for a project that gives children aged 3 to 6 in the Mityana region access to education and care for the first time: the building and running of a nursery school – in cooperation with JONA Foundation e.V. and PMCO Uganda e.V. In March 2025 she was able to be there in person for the official opening – and saw 120 places filled in no time at all.
What Andrea John experienced in Uganda cannot be measured in numbers. It is the story of a woman who puts her skills, her network and her heart at the service of children who would have no chance of an education without support. A story that shows: everyone can make a difference – no matter where they are.
