Schwester-Ina-Stiftung

The Schwester-Ina-Stiftung is a non-profit foundation based in Kempen, founded in 2003 by Marianne and Heinz-Wilhelm Wolters. Its focus is on supporting the St. Annenhof children's home as well as assisting children and families who require help due to neglect, violence, or other challenging circumstances. The foundation enables special programs such as academic support, an art studio, a music cellar, a crafts workshop, leisure and sports meetups, and mother-child apartments. Since all governing bodies work on a voluntary basis, all incoming donations and revenues are fully invested in projects for children and youth.

The Schwester-Ina Foundation bases its actions on Christian charity and the legacy of Sister Ina. Its goal is to offer a hopeful future to needy girls and boys in their homeland by providing comprehensive educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities as well as supportive living arrangements. Through responsible economic management and voluntary administration, the foundation ensures that resources are used sustainably and purposefully.

The foundation primarily targets children and adolescents from the St. Annenhof children's home as well as families in Kempen and the surrounding area who do not receive adequate support at home due to neglect, violence, or abuse. Another focus is on underage mothers with children up to six years old, who are cared for and supported in the apartments provided by the foundation.
