Hahn Air Foundation

The Hahn Air Foundation was established in 2012 by Hahn Air founders and owners Hans Nolte and Nico Gormsen. It is a private foundation committed worldwide to supporting disadvantaged people – especially women and children. Since its inception, it has invested several million euros in projects such as educational institutions, health, and social infrastructure. Its current projects include educational initiatives for indigenous children in Nepal (Chepang Hostel), language and integration support in Germany (Lernort Nordend), holiday camps for socially disadvantaged children in Hamburg, as well as aid initiatives for Roma children in Romania.

The Hahn Air Foundation promotes equal opportunities and social justice by supporting disadvantaged groups and providing them with pathways out of poverty and exclusion. Our goal is to strengthen education, health, and participation through sustainable project funding, thereby enabling long-term self-determined living.

The funding measures are aimed at people in precarious life situations, particularly children and adolescents as well as women in disadvantaged regions and communities worldwide. This includes indigenous peoples (e.g., Chepang in Nepal), socially and financially disadvantaged families in Germany (e.g., refugees at the Lernort Nordend), as well as marginalized population groups such as Roma children in Romania.
