Papillon International

From house to house – from heart to heart
Helping people rebuild their lives.

We are dedicated to building a better life by caring for equal chances in life

Our work

Any person can help to create a great world. Our mission is to help both sides to do it.

Charity aid for handicaped and patients

As a part of the project „2nd-leg“ we organize prosthetic fitting for people who cant afford a prothesis. Furthermore we provide wheelchairs for our patients with our initiative „Wheelchair Campaign“.

Disaster relief – help to rebuild life

Through disaster relief efforts, we provide urgent support to those affected — from emergency supplies to long-term rebuilding programs. But recovery is more than restoring buildings; it’s about restoring hope, dignity, and the chance for people to rebuild their lives.

Annual charity initiatives

Our annual charity initiatives support families in need throughout the year. We organize projects for low-income families, provide warm clothing and essential supplies during winter, and offer food support during Ramadan. Through our school charity programs, we also help children by providing school supplies and educational support.

Storys & Impact

Charity Project „Roof-over-your-head“, Tunisia, 02/2025

“Let’s pick up the pace now”—that’s the motto guiding the construction work on the house, which is set to be ready for occupancy soon, at least for the time being. We paid a visit to the site together!

Mohamed dreams of kickboxing. Now that we’ve fitted him with a prosthesis today, this might be the first step.

Renovated Schule, El Sers, 09/2025

“Under the motto: ‘In a motivating and safe environment, it’s easier to learn for life, because we learn for life, not just for school,’ Papillon International helped renovate a school just in time for the start of the school year. The results speak for themselves—see for yourself. A special thank you to everyone who helped, including the principal, teachers, contractors, and Rezgui Ahmed.“

Second-Leg, 02/2026, Tunesien

Mohamed was with us in April 2025. Do you remember him? He dreamed of kickboxing. Today he told us that he goes to training several times a week—what an inspiring story! Keep it up, Mohamed—you’re a role model and a great example of what’s possible when you have a goal in mind.
