My name is Ralf Hoffmann—and I’m looking for supporters for an aid project in India. 

Since I had already taken part in the Kleine Hilfsaktion e.V. motorcycle ride in southwest India last year, I knew right away: I’m doing it again in 2026. 

The incredible warmth of the people, the breathtaking natural beauty—and above all, the immensely important aid project “Zukunft Nähen!”—have deeply moved me. That’s all the motivation I need. 

In this project, girls and young women from the slums of Hyderabad are trained as seamstresses over a six-month period. They also learn important business skills and, at the end of the program, even receive their own sewing machine. 

This enables them to escape often degrading living conditions and build a self-determined life. At the same time, they become role models and help strengthen the role of women in their communities in the long term. 

Anyone who has experienced the gratitude of these young women knows that this project changes lives. 

But now there is some sad news: 

Due to the current global political situation, the 2026 Fundriding Tour of South India has had to be canceled. The risks are currently too high, and we cannot guarantee that the tour—including travel to and from the destination—can be conducted safely. 

That's very sad. 

However, the future of the “Zukunft Nähen!” project must not be jeopardized by this. 

That's why I decided to take action. 

Regardless of the outcome of the tour, I will donate €1,000 out of my own pocket. 

That’s a start—but together we can achieve so much more. 

Now it's your turn: 

Every contribution counts. You can help by: 

• make a donation yourself 

• ask for donations instead of gifts for your birthday 

• Share and spread the word about my fundraising appeal 

On behalf of the girls and young women who are gaining real prospects for the future thanks to this support, I would like to say right now: Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 

Looking ahead: 

If the global political situation improves, we plan to organize a new Fundride in 2027. 

Until then, we rely on direct donations—simple, transparent, and effective. 

When making your donation, simply select “Ralf Hoffmann” —and I guarantee that your contribution will go exactly where it’s needed. 

Of course, you'll also receive a donation receipt. 

A few personal words: 

I am 62 years old, live in Düsseldorf, love riding my motorcycle, am very active in sports, and have been volunteering for many years. 

Why am I doing this? 

“Nothing good happens unless you make it happen.” 

It may be an old saying—but one that’s more important today than ever. I want to do my part. And if we work together, we can really make a difference. 

What exactly is this about? 

For about €260, a complete training program can be funded—including a sewing machine. 

That’s not just help—it’s a real fresh start in life. 

My request to you: 

Be a part of this project. Support me—and, above all, the girls and young women in Hyderabad. 

Together, we can change their future. 

I’ll keep you updated on progress and developments regularly on my blog, together4people.blogspot.com. 

Let’s work together to make the world a little better. And please, tell others about it too. 

Thank you very much for your support! 

Best regards, Ralf Hoffmann 

Note: For donations up to €300, a simplified receipt is sufficient for the tax office. For larger amounts, an official donation receipt will, of course, be issued.
