We help young people in need – accompaniment to an independent life

Unser Anliegen
Selbständigkeit und Sicherheit

  • Chancengleichheit für junge Menschen in Litauen ohne intaktes Elternhaus.
  • Bildung, Selbstvertrauen und unsere Begleitung mit Herzenswärme sind die Schlüssel zu einem selbständigen Leben.
  • Seit über 20 Jahren engagieren wir uns in Litauen für Waisenkinder ehemals mit “Kinderdörfer in Litauen e.V.”
  • und seit einigen Jahren für Jugendliche nach dem Schulabschluss bis zum Ende der Berufsausbildung.

Unser Prinzip
Persönliches Engagement

Auf Wunsch können Sie sich als Förderer persönlich einbringen. Viele Patenschaften haben sich so zu einer ganz persönlichen Beziehung als Mentor*in oder elterliche Ratgeber*in entwickelt.

Wir arbeiten ausschließlich ehrenamtlich. 100% Ihrer Spenden kommen den Kindern und Jugendlichen direkt zugute. Unser Verein ist gemeinnützig anerkannt.

Projects

For teenagers

Our training program for young adults, which we run in cooperation with the PATRIA organization, is based on the principle of “encourage and challenge”.

Experienced social pedagogues help the young people to see a perspective and prepare them for an independent life – through regular coaching sessions as well as camps and workshops in our new PATRIA meeting house. They also help our young adults to cope with everyday life and assist them, among other things, in dealing with social services, choosing a profession, applying for jobs or looking for a place to live. PATRIA also offers supervised living for some youth.

How to get involved: With an apprenticeship sponsorship (€30, €50 or €80/month) or an individual donation, you can help supplement the inadequate state support available to young people and give them a realistic chance of receiving good vocational training.

For kids

We support underage orphans in the children’s villages Marijampole and “Sonatas Namai” through our child sponsorship program (since 2003). We also fund children’s heartfelt wishes such as vacation camps, joint excursions, afternoon activities and our popular Christmas campaign. If required, we also support necessary construction measures or the establishment of playgrounds and sports fields.

Continuity and constant further development of our projects are close to our hearts. At the beginning of our work, the main focus was on improving the living conditions in the two orphanages, as the Lithuanian state did not financially support private children’s homes at that time. Today, we continue to help with the sponsorship program and with special projects (e.g. purchase of medical aids such as glasses or dentures that are not financed by health insurance).

This is how you get involved: A contribution of 30 €/month for a child sponsorship finances school materials, excursions, afternoon programs and a savings account for later education.

Our realignment

Bild Kinder Umarmung

Since February 2022 our association is called “Kinder- und Jugendförderung in Litauen e.V.”. Because: for several years now, we have been focusing primarily on supporting the education of young Lithuanians who have grown up in children’s homes or with foster parents, and giving them a realistic chance at good vocational training and personal development.

In the meantime, we accompany 60 young people in Lithuania, in cooperation with the experienced youth welfare organization PATRIA in Kaunas.
