Who are we?

Hajia Adiza is a non-profit organisation founded in Hamburg in 2020.

Our aim is to advance integration, education, health, culture, sport and environmental protection, with particular attention to vulnerable groups such as migrants and refugees. Since its founding, the organisation has worked to support young people, families and individuals in precarious situations while easing their social and professional integration. Through educational programmes, awareness workshops and concrete projects, Hajia Adiza works to improve living conditions in communities, encourages diversity and intercultural cooperation, and protects the environment.

Growth of the organisation

Hajia Adiza has extended its work to France and Togo, strengthening its international reach. Its three branches — Germany, France and Togo — join forces to advance solidarity, human rights and cross-border cooperation for development that is both sustainable and fair.

Hajia Adiza Togo works to improve living conditions for vulnerable populations, focusing on education, health and access to water in remote areas. The branch runs humanitarian projects such as building latrines and distributing school kits, in partnership with local organisations.

Testimonials

What beneficiaries say about us

Ibrahim S., 21 Jahre — Sokodé, Togo Student on a study grant

I lost my parents very early and always feared I would not be able to carry on studying after school for lack of money. Thanks to the school grant programme run by Hajia Adiza e.V., I was able to enrol at university. That support changed my life and gave me the chance to pursue my dream. Without it I would probably have been stuck and forced to give up on my ambitions. Today I am fighting to succeed, and one day I want to give my community back some of what I received.

Mamadou D., 27 Jahre — Hamburg, Deutschland Volunteer in social integration and support

As a young migrant arriving in Germany, I faced plenty of difficulties settling in: the language barrier, administrative procedures, the school and employment system. I found Hajia Adiza e.V., who helped me make sense of all this and even suggested I volunteer to support other people like me. Today I translate documents, accompany families to medical appointments and take part in information sessions for newcomers. It is a rewarding experience that lets me give back what I was given.

Alex P., 24 Jahre — Bukarest, Rumänien Participant in an EU co-funded environmental project

I had the chance to take part in an environmental project organised by Hajia Adiza e.V. and co-funded by the European Union. Alongside other young people from Morocco, Germany and Bulgaria, we worked on local initiatives to raise awareness of environmental protection and recycling. The project opened my eyes to the importance of community engagement and gave me practical tools to act in my own city. Today I am part of an organisation in Romania that promotes recycling in schools.

Aminata K., 23 Jahre — Lomé, Togo From leaving school to running a business

When I had to drop out of my studies for lack of money, I lost confidence in myself. I watched my friends move forward while I had no options left. Everything changed when I heard about Hajia Adiza e.V. and their training programme. With their support I trained in personal development and in making local soaps. Today I have not only regained my confidence, I have also started my own small business selling handmade soaps. I earn my living and at last I feel independent.

Mariam T. — Hamburg, Deutschland Mother of a child on the outings programme

As a mother, there is nothing better than seeing your child happy and thriving. My daughter Aisha has always been a shy child who found it hard to make friends. Since she started joining the outings and activities Hajia Adiza e.V. organises for children aged 5 to 12, she has changed completely. She has seen new places, learned a great deal and above all built friendships with other children. Every outing is an adventure for her, and she always asks me: “Mum, when is the next one?”
