Who we are
A core grown from years of work in the field
LëtzHelp starts from that simple truth. It is the long-standing core that carries the humanitarian aid and direct field action of Nova Lëtzebuerg asbl.
Just as the heavy elements forged in a supernova seed a new world, LëtzHelp reaches the lives of people in need directly — with years of field experience and accumulated human values.
Like the first light that scatters the dark, we keep showing up wherever there is a need.
Core field focus
Our work in the field, in four areas
Each area is not a promise but a job we do again and again.
Lasting field projects
Water wells, school materials and sustainable livelihood support, built with local and international partners.
Community solidarity
From a shared bowl of hot soup to support for homeless and disadvantaged people — steady local action that strengthens the ties around us.
Volunteer-driven action
Taking goodness out of theory and into practice, through a network of volunteers who show up in person.
How we work
From a donation to help in hand, in three steps
Shortening the distance and the cost in between is half our work.
-
1
Listen and verify
We identify need on the ground, through our volunteers and local partners — never second-hand.
-
2
Match the resource
We match each donation to the right need, cutting out as many middle steps and costs as we can.
-
3
Deliver and show
We hand the support over in person, then share the record and the result with the donor.

Our campaigns
First campaign
Today we handed over hand-knitted hats to the association Stëmm vun der Strooss. These hats were knitted with a lot of love by our volunteers. We also handed over hats and gloves bought with donations. A big thank you to everyone who knitted, donated and supported this act of solidarity. Together, we bring a little warmth and hope ♥️
Second campaign
Together with the Red Cross and a university student association, we gave personalised gifts to the children at the Red Cross camp in Bettembourg.
Partner: Croix-Rouge luxembourgeoise · Conscious and Cultural Student Association
Third campaign
A bridge from heart to heart: Aşure Day and neighbourly ties
The aşure distribution we held at Stëmm vun der Strooss turned into a deeply meaningful and warm gathering that brought together people from all walks of our society. Aşure (Noah’s Pudding) is one of the most beautiful things our traditions and culture have to share. This sweet tradition, which has come down to us from Noah’s Ark, tells how the last remaining ingredients came together to make a wonderful dish. Just as the different ingredients in aşure come together to create a unique taste, people from different cultures and backgrounds coming together enriches our society.
Fourth campaign
Knitting workshop: hats, scarves and more
Together with Cohésion asbl, we are running a knitting workshop in Strassen. Everyone is welcome, even if you can’t knit: all materials are provided, and we learn and share together over a coffee. What we make will go to people in hardship. Dates: 1, 15 and 29 October, 15 and 19 November, 1–3 pm Venue: Cohésion, 148 route d’Arlon, 8010 Strassen On 26 November we will hand over what we have made, together, to Stëmm vun der Strooss.
Partner: Cohésion asbl

From the field
What we have been doing lately
A selection of the field work posted on our Facebook page.
Nepal floods: urgent appeal
We opened an urgent appeal for the families hit by these devastating floods: food, drinking water, shelter and essential aid.
Partner: Time to Help Belgium
School kits for 100 children
School kits for 100 children living in reception centres in Belgium were prepared and delivered together with Time to Help Belgium: backpack, pencil case and supplies, water bottle, lunch box and notebooks. The kits reached the children through Fedasil before the school year started.
Partner: Time to Help Belgium · Fedasil
New clothes at the orphanage
Almost 7,000 kilometres lie between Luxembourg and Nepal; but when a child laughs, that distance suddenly becomes very small. Shortly before the school year, we handed new clothes to the children at the orphanage.
Bread that is shared
Bread distribution in South Africa. Every loaf that is shared is a sign of humanity.
Partner: Time to Care
Blanket distribution
“A blanket warms the body, compassion can change a life. In Westbury we grew hope together.”
Partner: Time to Care

Photos and videos from the field
Where your support arrives: cataract operations in Mali and Nepal, food distribution in Karamoja, food and tents for flood-hit families in Nepal.
Cataract Project: Mali and Nepal
The appeal posters, patients after their operations, and videos from the clinic in Mali: the operating room and patients waiting their turn. One operation takes 15 minutes and costs €120.
Karamoja: the appeal and distribution day
The appeal posters, and families receiving their aid bags in Uganda’s Karamoja region, where drought has left around 473,000 people facing an acute food crisis.
Nepal floods: the appeal and food distribution
The appeal poster and the first relief for flood-hit families: food parcels were prepared and handed out, and our volunteers spent time with the children in the shelters.
Nepal floods: our tents reached the families
The tents were loaded, brought to the flood-hit area and set up with our volunteers.
“Our tents have reached the flood-hit area. A huge thank you to all our volunteers!”

FAQ
Questions we get often
Where does my donation go?
Donations go to the field programmes that are open at the time. If there is an urgent crisis, that comes first; otherwise they feed the regular food, clothing and education support.
Do you accept in-kind donations?
Yes — food, seasonal clothing, school supplies and hygiene products. Write to us before you drop anything off and we will tell you what is needed right now.
What does it take to volunteer?
No experience and no special skill. Just tell us how much time you can give and we will invite you to work that fits.
Are LëtzHelp and Nova Lëtzebuerg asbl the same thing?
LëtzHelp is the humanitarian and field-work core inside Nova Lëtzebuerg asbl. Legally, donations and activities run under the association.
