DRK Kinderhilfsfonds Sachsen

"Because children are future" – this awareness marks the work of the DRK Kinderhilfsfonds Sachsen (Children's Aid Fund Saxonia of the German Red Cross). Following the principle „Helping in the dimension of misery", the Kinderhilfsfonds Sachsen supports children, youths and families in need and not obtaining help by public or other institutions. Especially, quick, uncomplicated financial help for children, youths and families in urgent emergencies is provided. Furthermore, the funded projects shall contribute to the war against children's poverty and shall boost socially deprived children and youths in a sustainable way. Besides projects fighting children's proverty, education measures and youth work at schools, the trauma help for refugee children is of particular importance. With the help of psychotherapists, they shall learn to handle what they went through before, during and after their flight. In group discussions, role plays and with the help of playful forms of regeneration and creative offers like painting, the children get the possibility to express themselves. By including the parents, families shall be supported in the handling of trauma consequences. Children need love, care, challenges, perspectives, social contacts and education for an optimal development. The German Red Cross in Saxonia wants to reach out for deprived children and youths and help where nobody else helps.
