PLEA e.V. – Who we are and what we do
P.L.E.A. e.V. is a charity-organisation from Göttingen, Germany, not belonging to any political party or religious denomination. It was founded in 2006 by african-born academics and former development workers.
Our implication is to work on equal footing with our local partners in achieving strategies for solving developmental problems. In cooperation with motivated development agents in Africa we want to support uncompleted and neglected development dynamics. Therefore our development support includes all aspects of daily life.

Pilot Schemes
School Restoration
We restored, amongst others, 24 classrooms for 1120 students. Since its establishment in 1945 no maintenance from the government was carried out to date, so that it was in a terrible condition. This affected greatly the teaching, for example this often was only partly possible in the rainy season.
Solar Power
With financial support of the Lower Saxony Bingo Environment Foundation we equipped the grammar school De l'Annonciation of the Diocese of San in Mali with a photovoltaic system.
LED Solar Lights
PLEA advocates actively the Solux LED solar lights project for the elimination of energy poverty, global warming and CO2-related illnesses in Mali / Africa.
Reforestation
The Groasis Waterboxx Technology is a natural method for supply of planted trees, which promotes the growth of the root system. With a well-developed root system in its earliest stage of development the tree can later withstand possible water shortages.
