They are a Dutch organization, based in the Netherlands. Projects they support are being initiated through the cooperation of these communities and committed Dutch individuals.

Wilde Ganzen was established in 1957. Development and cooperation, is what Wilde Ganzen has always been about. They have been working for almost 60 years with dedication and determination, because the prevailing inequality in the world is something they wish to change.

Wilde Ganzen co-finances these projects and provides support and advice. This way, projects which have been started with much enthusiasm and involvement have a better chance to become self-sustained. Wilde Ganzen stands for cooperation, development and sustainability. Examples of projects they support are: the renovation of a primary school in Nepal or the construction of water wells in Kenya. Projects in which people in developing countries (their international project partners) improve their lives by working together with committed Dutch people. The latter are known as Private Initiatives: small scale, mostly voluntary development organisations (NGO’s, foundations, social clubs). Every year, Wild Ganzen supports about 350 projects worldwide. Wilde Ganzen works hard to raise funds. The funds they raise for projects are almost entirely from private sources.
