This is the visionary to whom 1000plus and the international counseling services of Profemina owe their existence. This founder and CEO of 1000plus-Profemina gGmbH (German NPO). is driven by one concern: "How can we collectively provide pregnant women in need with the best information, counseling, and assistance possible?" What motivates this political scientist every day anew is his passion for empowering women facing unintended pregnancies to make a decision they will take pride in for the rest of their lives — and his joy over every baby that is born thanks to 1000plus. He makes the impossible possible for the sake of creating a culture of life. “Can't” is not part of his vocabulary! 

Dr. Arnold, who holds a doctorate in theology, shares the management responsibilities of 1000plus-Profemina gGmbH (German NPO) with Kristijan Aufiero. He tirelessly advocates for the continuous expansion of 1000plus: "I believe that the most crucial task of our generation is providing information, counseling, and practical support for pregnant women in need so that decisions for life are made possible. That's why I am committed to 1000plus." 

Monika Aufiero is a member of the management team at Profemina International, the parent company of 1000plus, and has been part of 1000plus from the very beginning. As a certified accountant, she oversees organizational processes in personnel and internal administration—reliably, precisely, and with a keen sense of what truly matters in everyday life. She has worked closely with her husband, Kristijan Aufiero, for many years and knows 1000plus better than almost anyone else. As a mother of two, she brings not only professional expertise but also a wealth of personal experience and groundedness. Monika ensures that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes—so that at the forefront, 1000plus can focus on what matters most: providing help to pregnant women in need.

Katharina von Degenfeld is the International Director of Donor Relations concerning all countries in which 1000plus has a national office. Her area of responsibility is to provide opportunities for all 1000plus supporters to participate in creating a culture of life: "It is my joy and a privilege to interact daily with people who care deeply about pregnant women in need.  Their active support of this cause allows countless babies to see the light of day! I am moved by their trust, generosity, and the force of their compassion. I consider all 1000plus supporters to be true heroes!" 

Ursula Frantzen leads communications at 1000plus. As a theologian, she considers it important to be a voice for pregnant women in need and their families: “The stories of these women absolutely must be heard,” she emphasizes. “In the face of so many clichés and ideological demands surrounding the issue of pregnancy conflict, we want to continually highlight the real distress these women are facing — a distress for which ‘HELP instead of abortion’ is always the best answer!”

Josef Jung is a theologian and leads online communications at 1000plus. The website 1000plus.net aims to be a modern and clearly audible voice for a culture of life in the digital world: promoting the beauty of life. It invites all those who believe that ‘HELP instead of abortion’ is the right solution to pregnancy conflicts. It also informs about the real situation of pregnant women in need, their unborn children, and their families.

“I am grateful for the many wonderful people I have met through my work,” shares Theresa Stolz warmly. A trained speech therapist, she leads the donor information team at 1000plus-Profemina—and it is the supporters she means: “Time and again, in personal conversations with our donors, I encounter so much generosity, compassion, and empathy for desperate women and their babies that I come away from these meetings feeling strengthened and encouraged myself.”

“Pregnant women in need should always feel in Profemina counseling how valuable and unique they are as individuals. Likewise, the supporters of 1000plus should experience warmth and care when they come to us with ‘bureaucratic’ questions and concerns,” says Anna Gnatzy, Head of Administration at 1000plus-Profemina. She coordinates organizational processes such as donation accounting. Anna is confident: “If we succeed in making our donors as satisfied with our administration as the women we counsel are with our counseling, then we have done a good job!”
