Shelter for Nepalese girls
The current focus of our aid work is the financing of a particular
shelter - the Transit home Pashupatinagar at the border

Transparent representation of the structure of the organization, the finances and activities of pro filia e.V.
In Germany, there is no uniform duty for charities to be open to public scrutiny. We do, however, find it essential to provide transparent information about pro filia’s organizational structure, finances and activities to members, donors and other supporters. Because of this, we have decided to sign the voluntary declaration of commitment, which has been motivated by Transparency International Deutschland e.V and has subsequently been developed by the Initiative Transparente Zivilgesellschaft.
