More about our association

non-profit association

The aim is to channel funds to 100% for the intended purpose without wastage through administration. The organisation and its helpers work 100% on a voluntary basis. Every donation is tax-privileged in Austria.

The founders & the idea

Gertrud Rotter-Sorgo and Georg Rotter decided years ago to dedicate the rest of their lives to social commitment. Their visions are activities in Africa / South Africa, Asia / India and, of course, in Austria.

From the heart

The association SORO - non-profit organisation for social commitment was founded in September 2016 to put the idea and commitment on a broad footing. Since then, we have been travelling regularly to all projects to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

Help, Donate & Support

The organisation and its founders are grateful every day for all donations received by SORO - non-profit organisation for social commitment.
Please continue to donate; with your support you are directly involved in our projects.

Help

All our activities are made possible by many donations, for which we would like to express our sincere thanks. As we are constantly in urgent need of funds for our activities, we ask for your continued support. Every single euro of your donation will benefit the 100% projects, without any "wastage", as all travelling and administration costs are covered by private funds and therefore do not burden the association. Your donations are also tax-deductible.

our projects

hillcrest

Hillcrest Aids Centre / Durban / South Africa

In addition to inpatient care for the patients, other people affected by HIV are trained and supported in handicrafts. The products made in this way are purchased by the centre and marketed through its own sales channels to enable the people who make the products to earn an income. Unfortunately, the centre's bills often don't quite add up, which is why we were happy to finance the salary of one employee for three months.positions for sales and marketing.

Preschools / KwaZulu Natal / South Africa

We have currently built two preschool buildings and financed renovation measures in other preschools. To ensure that everything runs smoothly, we cooperate with a local non-profit organisation. As part of a knitting charity organised by us, numerous ladies throughout Austria made knitted items for the little ones. The result was overwhelming, we received more than 10,000 items and had to ship them on pallets to South Africa with the very helpful haulage company Cargo Partner. We also bring suitcase loads of cuddly toys for the children on every trip, which are received with great enthusiasm.

Agriculture / KwaZulu Natal / South Africa

In partnership with Mr Phila on site, potatoes, cabbage, chilli, onions, kÄurbis and beetroot are grown. The aim is to create work for at least four people with the labour-intensive cultivation to start with. In the region, the wages of four people can feed up to 24 people.

Sprinkle Orphanage / KwaZulu Natal / South Africa

We support children at the orphanage by funding the education of some of the gifted children and providing assistance where necessary and possible. Every time we visit, we want to make the children happy by organising something special for them, such as a concert, a pizza dinner or a trip to an adventure park. We also always bring plenty of second-hand clothes in top condition for all the children.

Homeless person / Cape Town / South Africa

With our financial support, we are enabling a homeless man in Cape Town to return to an orderly life. Shane now lives in a nice room with a kitchen, bathroom and toilet in a decent neighbourhood and has found work in the IT sector after just three months. Shane will soon be able to finance his life completely on his own. We will gladly continue to support him.

Girls' Homes / West Bengal / India

We have enabled and financed urgently needed renovation measures in three girls' homes in West Bengal. We have also enabled the creation of sanitary facilities and washing areas, and financed shelves and blankets.

Women's hospice / Kerala / India

The Mariyalayam Palliative Centre in Kerala is very close to our hearts. As the hospice does not receive any state support and can only survive very modestly on isolated private donations, we are helping with a solar power system to make the patients and the entire hospice independent of the constant power cuts and thus enable it to run smoothly.

Needy mother / Austria

We experienced the living conditions of a needy mother of two autistic children and were happy to help alleviate the extreme cold in winter. We commissioned a carpenter to make a customised entrance door. Now the small family can spend the winter much better protected from the cold.
