Activities
We promote MEDtiopia and collect donations in Germany through various campaigns, such as...
Happy Wine Nights
In December 2024, we released our MEDtiopia wine in cooperation with Imi Winery. A few bottles of this wonderful red wine are still available for €25 at Körnerstr. 20 in Cologne-Ehrenfeld! With every bottle, you make a donation – around 90% goes to MEDtiopia.
A big thank you goes to Imi Winery and the artist Gizem Güvendağ for designing the label!

Rothehaus-Street Festival 2024 - benefiting MEDtiopia!
We would like to sincerely thank this special neighborhood for their incredible commitment and trust in our work!
From small to large, young and old - everyone worked on behalf of MEDtiopia. Thanks also go to the artists Random EXP, Marcel Kreuzer, Gizem Erdem, Jule Richter, and Gizem Güvendağ, who designed motifs for us. Thanks to the T-shirt donation from Hehlerei.eu, we were able to print and sell a lot of them.
We would also like to thank Yoga 1a for the charity yoga class and the many children who raised money for the association through face painting, popcorn, and many other activities!
MEDtiopia meets Urban Art, March 2024
In 2023, Steffen (Random EXP) joined the association with the idea of organizing a charity art event. 28 artists donated their works to us. We were actually able to sell 50 of the 68 exhibits, raising €7,200. Proceeds from the drinks sale and the after-art party raised another €3,000. A complete success!

Review: Charity Event at Nauerhof, June 2023
The Icelandic horse farm "Nauerhof" near Bottrop hosted a charity summer festival with pony rides and more. All proceeds benefited non-profit organizations. Thank you for this wonderful event, which raised €2,520.00 for MEDtiopia! We will use a portion of this directly for urgently needed emergency aid and will report back to you shortly. Thank you again!
Rothehaus Street Festival, June 18, 2023
This year, the world's most beautiful street festival finally took place right on our doorstep – and we were there with an information and waffle stand! We raised €650.00 – thank you all!
Review 2022
Children's Fundraising Campaign
In November 2022, the children planned and implemented their own fundraising campaign. They received hand-painted pictures in exchange for a donation. And, of course, some information about the situation in Ethiopia! In just two hours, they raised €132.20 at Neptunplatz in Cologne-Ehrenfeld. You're amazing!
February 2022 Relief Campaign
We wrote about the success of the relief campaign to support the hospital in Mersa after the war-torn looting in our first report (March 2022). The spontaneous appeal at the beginning of 2022 raised over €17,000. This success encouraged us to subsequently establish the MEDtiopia association.
