The project “Iwoka” operates on two levels: In a school, volunteers from years 9th and 10th grades (15 to 16 years old) who have the necessary skills are carefully prepared, through intensive training, for their future role as coaches. Each of these secondary school students help four primary school pupils with their homework, accompany them if they have family problems and protect them in the playground from possible bullying as well as harassment by fellow pupils.

It has been proven that this method has not only prevented many children from dropping out of school, but has also had a positive effect on their personalities.
