Supporting children and young people as they develop self-confidence and self-determination is at the very heart of our foundation’s work.

The criteria for receiving support or funding are direct benefit to children, sustainability, and equality. Projects are selected based on effectiveness and transparency. There is no entitlement to support.

The foundation operates on a non-profit basis and supports only recognized non-profit organizations.

The key areas of focus are:

Health:

Health encompasses a balanced diet, adequate medical care, and social and emotional support.

Education:

Education is a central prerequisite for personal development and social participation; it is a fundamental human right.

Resilience:

Empowering children and adolescents so that they can achieve or maintain mental well-being and develop positively despite difficult life circumstances.

Space for Creativity:

Fostering creativity in children and adolescents has far-reaching positive effects on their development – cognitively, emotionally, and socially.

Target Group

• Infants, children, and adolescents
• Single parents

Quality Standards

Sustainability: Long-term impact rather than short-term aid

Transparency & Finances: Accountable use of funds

The Moving Child Foundation is actively committed to social participation and inclusion to counteract discrimination, racism, and the (re)production of social injustice.

It specifically supports programs and projects that aim to achieve and implement equal opportunities for all children – regardless of their origin, social background, or faith.
