The Kinderstiftung Nordstern's mission is to enable a better future for disadvantaged children and adolescents worldwide. It supports projects that ensure basic needs (water, nutrition, basic medical care), education (schools, vocational schools, equipment), and social integration (therapy, assistance for physically and mentally disabled children). As a "guidepost," the foundation aims to provide orientation and lead out of poverty sustainably.
