In the page's words:

The Asia House Foundation is committed to the realization of human rights, the strengthening of social and political participation, as well as social justice and the protection of the environment. It demands that politics and business implement social, ecological and human rights standards.

The organization was founded in 1992 under the name "Asienstiftung". Its founder, Prof. Dr. Günter Freudenberg, and several associations working on Asia joined forces in Essen in 1995 to form the Asia House. In October 2012, the Asia House moved its headquarters to Cologne.

Our mission statement: humane, socially just, environmentally just

In order to provide guidelines for our work, the Board of Trustees adopted the following mission statement at its meeting on November 21, 2009.

We shape the future
by working together with others to strengthen social participation, human rights, social justice and environmental protection.

We connect people
by developing cooperation between non-governmental organizations and social movements in Europe and Asia and by promoting dialogue between civil society, academia, politics and business. We are committed to social movements and disadvantaged groups in society.

We promote insights
into the lives of people in Asia, into their political and social situation and into the situation of human rights and the environment. We promote understanding of the political, economic and cultural relations between Europe and Asia. We make connections clear: global - regional - local.
