With the short film competition “Love in Action”, we want to encourage young people to help one another, be there for each other, and have the courage to do good in everyday life – at school, in the neighbourhood, online, or on the go.
The Zariya Foundation invites young talents aged 12 to 25 to create moving short films that become a source of inspiration. Films tell stories through moving images – stories that touch us precisely because of this fascinating art form.
The Zariya Foundation is committed to being a source of inspiration and motivation and to improving the living conditions of children in poverty, especially in the areas of education and health.
The Zariya Foundation is a politically and religiously independent organisation.
“Zariya” means “source” in Urdu. We believe that every person has the ability, in their daily life, to be a source of compassion, respect, and love. We want to encourage people to promote universal human values in their personal environment and to actively use their own resources, abilities, and talents so that real change can grow from within.
Beyond the production of the film Mother Teresa & Me, the Zariya Foundation team aims to inspire people to develop a transformative and multiplying force through collective action and to make a real, concrete contribution.
