Mission

More than half a million refugees who have arrived in Moldova from Ukraine since the beginning of the war represent an enormous challenge in view of the population of almost 2.6 million and the overall threat situation. The refugee camp in Balti was built by the association "Die AHRche e.V.” and handed over to the local administration. We’re also working closely with the local authorities. Coaches trained by skate-aid started the educational skateboarding workshop program for the refugee kids with the container we set up and trained local coaches.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023 - skate-aid review 2022

A review of the past year and an outlook on the coming one...

Skate-aid has been a partner of the German association "The Global Experience" since 2015 and accompanies students of the Schiller Gymnasium and the Primus School in Münster as part of an intercultural inclusion exchange at the NISE school center in Windhoek / Namibia. It is a school center for physically and mentally impaired children and adolescents and is located near the Katutura Township.

skate-aid wants to improve together with the SOS Children's Villages the situation of the many traumatized children of Damascus. In the skate park, the children should have the opportunity, in the framework of pedagogically supervised workshops, to let off steam, to strengthen their sense of belonging and to overcome trauma when dealing with others.
