ABOUT US

In 1989 the Viennese gynecologist and development aid worker Dr. Maria Hengstberger founded AKTION REGEN. After a time of working in Ethiopia she knew: „Help is possible. We only need teaching aids in reproductive health which can be understood by all people”. As first teaching aid she developed the Birth Control Necklace.

The word “REGEN” (rain) symbolizes the water, which has to reach the roots in order to overcome the biggest problem of our world – the population explosion. Under the specialist direction of Dr. Hengstberger seminars for development aid workers are held worldwide based on the theme:

Education – Motivation – Innovation

Here the participants learn how to educate, motivate and use new methods of family planning in real life and how one could get a chance to prevent HIV transmission.

The population explosion concerns all of us! No money for bread – no money for contraceptives! Only knowledge can really help. Help us to pass it on.
