The Beluga School for Life was created in 2005 by Niels Stolberg, managing director of the Beluga Shipping GmbH. The Bremen shipping company owner provided the basis for this project with a start-up capital of 1.5 million euro and guaranteed the operating costs for the next ten years. The businessman explains his commitment as the desire to help immediately and lastingly. In liability to fulfill his social responsibilities Niels Stolberg founded the Beluga School for Life to offer targeted and sustainable help.
