Mission & Vision

The foundation is committed to ensuring that all children who, for various reasons, cannot live with their original families grow up in family-like environments. It promotes preventive and sustainable support measures to secure social integration, emotional bonding, and lifelong development opportunities. Through advocacy, information, and projects, it raises awareness among the public and professionals about the concerns of foster children.

Target groups

The funding programs are aimed at foster children and young adults who live permanently or temporarily in foster families. In addition, the foundation addresses foster parents, professionals from youth welfare services, researchers, and the interested public to jointly improve the living conditions of foster children.
