How does your donation help?
Little Carolin was just a few weeks old when she saw her father for the first and last time. Arre Illenzeer was home on leave from a mission in Iraq, saw his daughter Carolin, went back and was killed. The Carolin Illenzeer Fund was set up to support children whose parents have paid a high price to ensure the safety of the Estonian people.
There are 66 children on the Fund’s list who have a parent who has been killed or seriously injured while serving in the Estonian Defence Forces. Ten children have already grown out of the Fund and started living on their own. We support all the children of the Fund with a school bag grant in September, provide a regular grant for hobby education and offer scholarships for university students. Our young people have studied at Viljandi Cultural Academy, Tallinn University, the Academy of Security Sciences and universities outside Estonia. With our support, the children play basketball, football and handball, go horse riding and cycling, practice judo, wrestling, art, music and languages.
Today, there is a war in Ukraine and we can safely say that the families supported by the Carolin Illenzeer Fund have made a contribution to ensure that there is peace in Estonia.
The patron of the Fund is President of the Republic of Estonia Alar Karis.

The Estonian Debating Society: argumentation training to every corner of Estonia!
The school system has not adapted quickly enough to a society characterised by information overload, polarisation and the spread of misinformation. There is a need to rapidly develop the critical thinking and reasoning skills of students. With the support of your donation the Debating Society will train teachers to use the debating method both in the classroom to teach subject competences and in more depth in the form of elective subjects or leisure activities.

Not all children in Estonia have equal opportunities for acquiring great education. There are schools in Estonia where 98% of students graduate from secondary education, but there are also schools where children leave having only acquired basic education. Dropping out of school sets severe limitations on young people’s further choices and opportunities for self-fulfilment.
