About Us
The MY Foundation international is a nonprofit German organization working for the mental health and well-being of international students. We know what kind of problems students may face, such as homesickness, cultural adjustment, academic pressures, and limited access to affordable mental health services. Our mission is to close these gaps by offering accessible support, resources, and a compassionate community. Through counseling, workshops, peer support networks, and advocacy, we seek to create a safe place where international students can be empowered through overcoming obstacles to focusing on personal and academic growth.
