Ute-Henriette Ohoven
Ute-Henriette Ohoven (born Ute-Henriette Ulmer ; born March 10, 1946 in Tübingen ) is the special ambassador for UNESCO and founder of the YOU Foundation - Education for Children in Need , a non-profit organization based in Düsseldorf.
Life
Ohoven grew up with six siblings, passed the secondary school leaving certificate and then completed an apprenticeship as a tailor in his parents' textile company in Spaichingen . Ohoven was married to the industrialist Bernd Carlo Jerger and had two children with him, the son Markus Jerger (* 1964), entrepreneur, and the daughter Claudia Jerger. Ute-Henriette Ohoven is married to the banker Mario Ohoven for the second time and has two children with him, Michael (* 1974) and Chiara (* 1985). She became known through the organization of elaborate donation galas for the benefit of UNESCO Children's Aid, where she is said to have collected around 20 million euros. This earned her the nickname "Mother Teresa in Chanel" or "Charity Queen".
Act
Ohoven is active in several charitable organizations. She was actively involved in setting up the first bone marrow donor registry in Germany. As a result, UNESCO named her an "Ambassador of Good Will". Shortly afterwards, in 1994, she was appointed UNESCO's only special envoy and was responsible for the “UNESCO - Education for Children in Need” project. For almost 30 years, it has stood up for the poorest in the world and stands for the missions and values of UNESCO .
On June 3, 2002 Ohoven was elected President of the ZNS - Hannelore Kohl Foundation and held this office until 2011. In this function, she succeeded Hannelore Kohl . In July 2009, Helmut Kohl announced that he would resign from all offices in the foundation and justified his withdrawal with an “unfriendly takeover” of the foundation by people who had no relationship with his deceased wife. According to media reports, this was aimed at President Ohoven. Today (2017) Ohoven is Honorary President of the Hannelore Kohl Foundation.
Ute-Henriette Ohoven is Honorary Consul General of the Republic of Senegal for the consular district of North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. Her father Manfred Johannes Ulmer, textile manufacturer and Air Force Colonel in the Reserve and Honorary Senator of the University of Konstanz , was already Consul of the Republic of Senegal and her mother Judith Margarethe Ulmer was Honorary Consul General of the Republic of Senegal in Stuttgart until May 10, 1995.
