Mission & Vision
Our mission is to preserve the memory and educational principles of Pastor Werner Sylten while sustainably supporting current child and youth welfare initiatives. We are committed to maintaining and strengthening projects focused on social integration, inclusive education, and sustainable personal development. In doing so, we emphasize need, personal contribution, and long-term impact for the benefit of young people.
Target groups
Non-profit organizations, associations, and public law entities (e.g., youth welfare centers, special education centers) based in Thuringia are supported, provided they implement projects in the areas of child and youth welfare, inclusive education, social skills training, and environmental education. The target group particularly includes institutions closely affiliated with the Diakonie that are committed to sustainable programs promoting the social and educational competencies of young people.
