Running for those who can't - for children with MPS!
Many people love running. MPS-children don’t. But YOU can put on their shoes and run the Vienna Marathon for them and do something good. You can dedicate your sportiness to our MPS-children and make a big difference in their lives: more mobility, less pain and often even more time – time to live. Ready – steady – help!
A piece of normality for families with seriously ill children!
A marathon like this is quite strenuous, and you can sometimes run out of breath. Parents of seriously ill children should never run out of breath. They do a superhuman job, day after day, around the clock. We cannot relieve them of this immense burden, but we can make it a little easier. Arche Herzensbrücken is a temporary retreat with nursing relief, music, painting and animal-assisted therapies and psychosocial support. A place that brings shared moments of joy and happiness into the lives of affected families, that allows time out to recharge your batteries and give hope. Please also help, give a piece of normality!
I am a pacesetter. For children's rights.
Children have very special rights and need protection. But the reality of children in poor countries is different: Poverty, malnutrition, exploitation, violence, abuse, no schooling. Kindernothilfe strengthens and protects girls and boys worldwide. It stands up against exploitative child labor and for the rights of children, such as education and health. For the chance of a life in dignity. Be a pacemaker yourself. To help children’s right get realized.
Run with us - Making a difference through movement
RAINBOWS - Contact point for children and adolescents after separation/divorce of parents or the death of a loved one.
The divorce of parents, the death of a loved one - all these are drastic moments in the lives of children and adolescents. Their familiar world collapses, anger, insecurity, feelings of guilt, disappointment and fear of an uncertain future are companions of the children during this time. RAINBOWS has set itself the goal of supporting affected children during this emotional chaos in order to give them a new orientation, self-confidence and joy of life and to help them accept the changed family situation.Often, however, the financial means of the affected families are not sufficient to enable the children to participate in RAINBOWS. However, it is important to us to be there for all children - regardless of their financial situation!
