Npo Childrenplanet

What Npo Childrenplanet does

Childrenplanet is an Austrian non-profit association (Verein) founded on September 17, 2009 by Christian Gsöllradl-Samhaber following his meeting with Cambodian educator Long Lypo. Registered in Sierning, Upper Austria, the organization supports education, drinking water access, sanitation, and health projects in Stung Treng province, Cambodia. Its core programs include the Evergreen Community School (founded 2006, supported since 2009, operating 5 classes as of 2022), a Krou Yeung School scholarship partnership launched in 2024, and the Hopeful Water Project, which has built over 50 wells (drilled 20-45 meters or hand-dug 6-10 meters) along with basic sanitation facilities.

The association is entirely volunteer-run, with a four-member board (Lukas Schleinzer as Chairman, Sophie Kraft as Treasurer, Sophia Danklmaier as Secretary, and Monika Lumplecker as Deputy Chairman) and no paid staff. Operations are delivered through direct on-the-ground partnerships with local Cambodian organizations rather than proprietary technology; the technical footprint is limited to a WordPress website, Facebook page, email communication, and bank-transfer donation processing. Completed initiatives include the 2011 renovation of the pediatric ward at the Stung Treng public hospital, a basic sanitation program with hygiene education, and a woodworking workshop for local youth.

Revenue is generated through three channels: one-time Austrian donations routed via Sparkasse bank transfer, recurring monthly class sponsorships (Klassenpatenschaften) at €5-€35 per month covering teacher salaries, materials, and meals, and volunteer Selbstbehalt contributions of €2,400-€3,000 per 10-12 month placement. Donations are tax-deductible in Austria under the organization's recognized spendenbegünstigte status. The organization has held the Austrian Spendengütesiegel continuously since 2013 and received the Menschenrechtspreis 2016 from the state of Upper Austria (endowed with €8,000). Volunteer placements are coordinated in partnership with Internationaler Freiwilligeneinsatz, which subsidizes flights, visa, vaccinations, insurance, and monthly allowances.

Revenue model

1. One-time Donations: Individual donors make one-time monetary contributions to support Childrenplanet's projects in education, water access, and healthcare in Stung Treng, Cambodia. Donations can be made via bank transfer to the organization's Austrian Sparkasse account.
2. Class Sponsorships (Klassenpatenschaften): Recurring monthly sponsorship model where donors commit to monthly payments (typically €35, minimum €5) to support a class at the partner schools. Sponsors receive regular updates, newsletters, and Christmas letters about their sponsored class. This provides predictable recurring revenue for the organization.
3. Volunteer Service Support: While volunteer placements are primarily supported by the partner organization Internationaler Freiwilligeneinsatz, volunteers contribute a cost participation fee (Selbstbehalt) of €2,400 to €3,000 depending on the length of their placement (10-12 months). This offsets some operational costs of the volunteer program.

Broad incumbents

• ChildFund International: International child-welfare organization supporting education, health, and livelihoods in developing countries. Comparable mission and child-sponsorship donor model but operates at a much larger scale with paid staff and multi-country footprint.
• Save the Children Austria: Austrian affiliate of the global child-rights organization. Overlaps in mission (education, child welfare in developing countries) but competes with Childrenplanet for Austrian private donations and CSR funding at significantly larger scale.
• World Vision Austria: Austrian branch of World Vision International, focused on child welfare, education, and WASH in developing countries. Comparable in programmatic focus (education, water, sanitation) but operates globally with paid staff and large institutional donor base.
• SOS Children's Villages Austria: Austrian arm of SOS-Kinderdorf International, supporting children without parental care and running development projects. Comparable in child welfare focus and Austrian donor base but operates at much larger scale with residential care and institutional infrastructure.
• Plan International Austria: Austrian branch of the global child-rights and development organization Plan International. Comparable in mission (child welfare, education in developing countries) but operates at significantly larger scale with paid staff and institutional donor base.

Direct peers

• Jugend Eine Welt: Austrian organization supporting education and child welfare projects in developing countries, including through partner schools and volunteer programs. Very comparable in mission, scale, and Austrian non-profit structure.
• Sonne International: Austrian nonprofit focused on education, healthcare, and self-help for children in developing countries. Highly comparable as a small Austrian Verein with similar international development mandate and donor-driven model.
• Licht für die Welt: Austrian NGO working on disability-inclusive development and healthcare in developing countries. Comparable as an Austrian Verein with international project portfolio, donor-funded model, and Spendengütesiegel certification.
• Childaid Network: German nonprofit supporting education and vocational training for underprivileged children in Southeast Asia, including Cambodia. Closely comparable due to similar mission, small European-NGO structure, and donor-funded education model.

Others

• Hilfswerk Austria: Large Austrian nonprofit providing social services domestically and supporting development projects abroad. Comparable only as a fellow Austrian Verein with development cooperation mandate; not a direct child-education peer.
