25 years of drying little tears
This year, we look back on 25 years of DRYING LITTLE TEARS – 25 years of working together to bring hope, protection, and support to children around the world. What began in 2000 with a single aid project has grown into an international foundation with more than 400 completed projects in over 65 countries.
Our work is built on four pillars: health, education, care, and emergency aid. The origin of our mission goes back to a moving moment: in a Munich hospital, a seriously ill child asked Regine Sixt to dry his tears. That wish became the inspiration for everything that followed.
Whether emergency relief in Ukraine, education projects in Africa, or medical care in Asia – we are committed to ensuring that children, regardless of their background or circumstances, have the chance for a better future.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we can continue to turn tears into hope in the future.

Charity concert in honor of the anniversary
An evening full of emotions, music, and compassion: With a festive classical benefit concert in the Hercules Hall of the Munich Residenz, the Regine Sixt Children’s Aid Foundation DRYING LITTLE TEARS launched its anniversary year, celebrating 25 years of existence. Regine Sixt, Foundress and CEO of the foundation, emphasized in her welcome speech: “Music is a universal language that brings people together – regardless of origin or life circumstances. From the very beginning of our foundation, we have harnessed this very power to draw attention to the needs of children worldwide.”
