ABOUT OUR WORK
Code of Conduct
When working on projects in the global south, we prioritize fostering a diverse range of perspectives. While it's challenging for any single organization to mitigate existing political and monetary power imbalances, we believe that individual efforts to seek solutions can contribute to achieving this goal.
We therefore work under a "Code of Conduct" whereby cooperation adheres to the social justice and diversity training method of "Mahloquet" *, aiming to steer project work by the following six principles:

We therefore work under a "Code of Conduct" whereby cooperation adheres to the social justice and diversity training method of "Mahloquet" *, aiming to steer project work by the following six principles:
1
Listening attentively
2
Engaging in a collaborative learning process
3
Creating opportunities for open-minded dialogue
4
Embracing ambiguity as a part of the process
5
Recognizing that there may not always be a definitive solution
6
Avoiding the pursuit of a singular "truth"
* The method of Mahloquet (dialogic dispute conversation) was developed by Leah Carola Czollek, Gudrun Perko, Corinne Kaszner, and Max Czollek and is a framework for social justice and diversity training . It draws on the Jewish tradition of interpreting religious texts and has been adapted for training purposes, removed from the religious context and accordingly modified.
Our Approach
Following numerous trips to Africa and Haiti with various NGOs and extensive insights into the global situation of girls, Toni felt compelled to engage more directly with specific projects and provide flexible financial support. Consequently, she decided to establish her own organization.
The Toni Garrn Foundation was founded in 2016 to champion girls' education initiatives in Sub-Saharan Africa, aiming to empower individuals, their families, and local communities.
Over the years, we have expanded beyond our initial focus solely on education to offer a more comprehensive and tailored support.
Our collaboration with partners in the Global South encompasses various areas, including adult education, healthcare, safe accommodation infrastructure, and both mental and physical well-being.
