Bethanien Kinderdörfer: A Home for Children and Adolescents

The Bethanien Kinderdörfer have been providing a new home in a family-like atmosphere for disadvantaged children and adolescents who can no longer live with their biological families for various reasons for over 65 years. These facilities create the foundation for a healthy trust in life and promote the development of children and adolescents.

Key Products and Services

Children's Village Families and Living Groups: The children live in large houses with cozy living rooms and their own rooms. They are supported by educational professionals and can access special therapies and support.
Outpatient Assistance and Daycare Centers: In addition to the residential offerings, the Bethanien Kinderdörfer also provide outpatient assistance and care in daycare centers.
Special Educational Offers: This includes special therapy and support options that are supervised by a dedicated team of staff.

Main Mission and Values

The main mission of the Bethanien Kinderdörfer is to provide children and adolescents with a safe and supportive environment in which they can grow and develop. The Christian faith plays an important role and serves as a source of strength in everyday life. The Dominican Sisters of Bethanien, the founders of the children's villages, live on the premises and contribute to the Christian-Catholic character.

Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

The Bethanien Kinderdörfer place great importance on sustainable and long-term support. They offer training apartments and housing to prepare adolescents for independence. Additionally, they promote the development of children through special educational offers and a training academy for educators. These initiatives help children and adolescents to develop their skills and lead an independent life.
