My name is Manfred Neumann—and I support the “Zukunft Nähen!” aid project in India.

After attending the Kleine Hilfsaktion e.V. motorcycle charity ride in South India, it was clear to me: this project deserves every bit of support. I was particularly moved by how a six-month training program in sewing is giving young women from the slums of Hyderabad real prospects for the future.

The participants not only learn a trade, but also gain business skills and, at the end of the program, even receive their own sewing machine. This enables them to build a self-determined life step by step and strengthen their role in society.

Unfortunately, the 2026 Fundriding Tour had to be canceled due to the current global political situation. But the project must not suffer as a result.

Every bit of additional support counts right now. You can help by:

• Make a donation yourself
• Ask for donations instead of gifts
• Share and spread the word about this appeal

Just €260 is enough to cover a young woman’s entire training, including a sewing machine—and give her the chance for a fresh start.

If the situation improves, we plan to organize a new Fundride in 2027. Until then, we are focusing on providing direct, transparent assistance. When making your donation, please select “Ralf Hoffmann” so that your contribution goes directly to this project. A donation receipt will, of course, be issued.

I am convinced that when many people work together, we can make a difference in people’s lives.

Thank you very much for your support!

Best regards,
Manfred Neumann
