About Gesellschaft Österreichischer Kinderdörfer
editThe Gesellschaft Österreichischer Kinderdörfer is an independent association that has been active in Austria for over 60 years. Our main goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for children and adolescents who cannot grow up with their parents temporarily or permanently. In our facilities, they find a responsible counterpart who helps them improve their living and developmental conditions and enables equal participation in social life.
Key Products and Services
editOur offerings include socio-educational residential groups with intensive care, supported indoor and outdoor living, as well as family diagnostics, parental work, and visit accompaniment. We rely on interdisciplinary teams and a wide range of therapies to meet the individual needs of children and adolescents. Our facilities include the Kinderdorf Pöttsching, the Anton Afritsch Kinderdorf, the Europahaus des Kindes, and the Gesellschaft Österreichischer Kinderdörfer Salzburg.
Mission and Values
editOur mission is to create places where children and adolescents experience safety, security, praise, and recognition. We support them on their path to independence and place great importance on understanding, respect, orientation, and support. These values are the pillars of our work, as being there for one another, paying attention to each other, and sticking together are essential for human coexistence.
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editThe Gesellschaft Österreichischer Kinderdörfer is committed to sustainable development goals by continuously improving the living conditions of the children and adolescents in our care. We focus on long-term support and individual funding programs to promote special talents and carry out necessary renovation work in our facilities. Our work is made possible by the generous support of donors who help us achieve these important goals.
Ways to Support
editWe are grateful for any contributions and donations that enable us to continue our work and provide the best possible support to children and adolescents. In addition to financial donations, bequests and in-kind donations are also welcome. Our donors are regularly informed about our activities through the "Kinderdorfbrief."
The Gesellschaft Österreichischer Kinderdörfer is proud to be a reliable partner for children and adolescents in need and to offer them the chance for a positive future. Together with our supporters, we work to create a better world for the next generation.
