Who we are

Ampelos Luxembourg Asbl was established in December 2021 by two former partners of Ampelos Italia. Building on this successful experience, we had the opportunity to activate several projects in different sectors such as education, health, agriculture, and access to clean water.

Ampelos Italia was founded in 2004 by a group of agronomists and food technologists with the aim of carrying out agri-food, educational and health development projects.

All projects are defined in collaboration with our local partners, with whom we have built a strong bond of trust and collaboration. This ensures the smooth progress of each project and diligent follow-up. Project selection is based on the needs of the local community, always with a perspective of achieving autonomy within a few years. Ampelos Luxembourg currently has 25 active members, all volunteers, who meet monthly. Ampelos associates, contribute an annual membership fee to cover all fixed management costs and ensure that donations are fully utilized for project financing in Africa.

„I have always imagined Ampelos as a train, with open doors, to give everyone the opportunity to get on and share this beautiful journey with us members, supporters, friends who share our dreams and support us and allow us to make them come true. And speaking of support and sharing: Ampelos means vine in Greek, not only because we found them in Eritrea at the beginning of our journey but also because they are plants that embrace each other, support each other and share the soil, water and sun to give away their beautiful and delicious fruits.”
