I AM MICHAEL STICH -
AND THIS IS MY MOTIVATION

Children infected with HIV and suffering from AIDS and their families still only receive limited compassion in our society. On top of the physical and psychological consequences, those affected also suffer from social ostracism and even poverty. This makes dealing with an illness, which will accompany the children for their entire lives, even more difficult.

I would like to use my foundation to give the important topic of HIV and AIDS more public attention again, to minimise the social isolation of the affected children and families and to make their lives a little easier.

Welcome to the
Michael Stich Foundation

The non-profit Michael Stich Foundation was founded in 1994 by Michael Stich. We campaign for children infected with and affected by HIV and suffering from AIDS as well as their families.

As our work is exclusively financed by donations, we are pleased with your contribution.

Alongside direct help, which helps the children thanks to personal contributions, we are also actively involved in prevention and education in Hamburg's schools. We want to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS with the schoolchildren and dispel unfounded fears.

HIV and AIDS is a topic that seems to be rapidly disappearing from both the media and from people's heads. We are counteracting this with adverts in advertising columns and bus stops.

Overcoming voicelessness

Every person has secrets, because what our feelings belong to us alone, as do the things we choose to tell others – or not. Everyone has the right and the freedom to choose who they want to trust. This is like a 'secret garden' that you offer to someone that you trust.
