From a shoemaker's cottage to aid organizations and thrift stores
Many people are familiar with Erikshjälpen, but who was Erik? In this lecture, Birgitta Johansson, who worked at Erikshjälpen for eleven years, shares the story of Erik, Ulla, and the history of Erikshjälpen.
It is the 1940s, and in a hospital, a seriously ill and lonely boy dreams of making a difference—even though no one sees how he could possibly accomplish anything. As a teenager, he begins sending letters and gifts to other sick children. This marks the beginning of Erikshjälpen.
Today, Erikshjälpen works to promote children’s rights and future in 16 countries and is one of Sweden’s largest secondhand chains. But behind the organization lies the story of Erik Nilsson—the son, husband, and father who devoted his life to helping others, despite his own limitations.
Birgitta Johansson is giving a lecture
Birgitta Johansson is retired and worked at Erikshjälpen for 11 years. Among other things, she helped launch the successful concept Erikshjälpen Framtidsverkstad—a concept in which children, young people, and parents work together to foster optimism and hope for the future in areas of Sweden facing socioeconomic challenges. And now she tells the story of Erik, Ulla, and Erikshjälpen.
A warm welcome!
