Our leading principle regarding the way we work our four intervention strategies.

South Africa, Ugu-district

€ 40.000 until 2024

Unfortunately many children in South Africa still live in large-scale residential care centres. Our partner organisation Give a Child a Family has a lot of experience and knowledge regarding preventing children to be taken into care and starting foster care. Emergency foster care is not yet available. In the years to come parents will be educated for this. Together with your help, we make this happen.

The Philippines

Wereldkinderen has ended support for this project

In Manila, many children who are not able to live with their families, land up in large-scale children's homes. Our partner Foundation Kaisahang Buhay will train and support foster families for children who (temporarily) cannot live with their families.

Our partner Siam Care offers physical, psychological and financial support to families who are faced with HIV/AIDS, so they can look after themselves. They prevent that children end up in institutional care and they support children in their education.

South Africa, Hammanskraal

€ 20.668 up to and including 2024

In the townships near Pretoria, we support vulnerable children too. Our partner organisation SA Cares works with social workers, who live in the community and therefore have a lot of knowledge of the problems within these communities. The most vulnerable families receive help.

Veelgestelde vragen projecten

Is it possible to apply for a subsidy for a project?

It is not possible to apply for a subsidy as an individual. We choose projects that we support ourselves.

Why does one project receive more money than others?

The amount that we contribute to a project depends on the kind of project. For example, searching for suitable foster care for a child that lives in a shelter costs a lot of time and money. Another determining factor is whether a project focuses on one aspect of precaution or reintegration, or whether it focuses on the entire scope of factors. We weigh what the project wants to achieve and how complex the topic is.
