Since 2017, Reinhild Wendl from Obervellach has been training women in Africa to become tailors - so that they don't have to get married at the age of thirteen ...

"The school is a project close to my heart," says Reinhild Wendl (84) from Obervellach, explaining why she has raised more than 300,000 euros in donations since 2017. She is using the money to finance her own tailoring school in Tanzania: "So that the girls and women are not forced to marry," is the basic idea.

26 schoolgirls are currently being trained in Tanzania. The profession has always been very important to Reinhild Wendl and she wants to pass on her knowledge.

"Mama Wendy", as Wendl is affectionately known, is a master seamstress herself and had already won numerous prizes and awards before answering the call to Africa: "It's so nice to help down there! My girls are very grateful to me, but not for the money, but for the time I spend with them," says the Obervellach native, who was nominated as a person of the heart by Adalbert Holzfeind: "Her heart is always open - especially for Africa," says the long-time friend.
