Entwicklungshilfeklub

Founded in 1973, Entwicklungshilfeklub is a non-profit association based in Wien, Austria working on international development, poverty & hunger, education +3 more.

The Entwicklungshilfeklub is an Austrian association founded in 1973 by Gerhard Dorffner and Helmut Novy. It works to overcome poverty and oppression by funding concrete, manageable development projects run by European partner organisations and local organisations in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Its main focus is Nepal, a priority country since 2024, where it works with Oxfam in Nepal on water, education, women's empowerment and climate-resilient farming. Projects are typically funded through donations that are passed on in full to the designated project, while administration and running costs are covered by separate contribution fees, membership and team contributions. The association also runs fundraising activities such as the annual Friedenslauf charity run in Vienna, a children's Klub-Basar and a gift shop selling items made by women's groups, and supports projects in partnership with schools and artists. Volunteer work is central to its model. Its office is located in Vienna.
