The core mission of the Lebenshilfe Main-Taunus is to enable people with disabilities to live a self-determined, happy and integrated life. Empathy, inclusion and a sense of community are at the heart of the work. The organization is consistently committed to a coexistence of people with and without disabilities and supports relatives through targeted advisory services[1].
In addition to the association, the Stiftung Lebenshilfe Main-Taunus was founded in 2003, which is dedicated to the promotion and financial support of measures for people with disabilities. The foundation focuses on projects that promote protection, security, self-determination and social integration. These include in particular the equipment and furnishing of support and housing offers as well as advisory services for relatives. The foundation is managed on a voluntary basis by a board of directors and a board of trustees and also offers tax advantages for endowments, which ensures sustainable financing[2].
Die Lebenshilfe Main-Taunus works as a modern, efficient association that is characterized by continuous commitment to inclusion and participation. Supported by volunteers and broad member participation, it enables a lively community in which people with disabilities can actively participate in social life. This integrative attitude underlines the endeavor to break down barriers and create diverse participation opportunities[1].
Die Lebenshilfe Main-Taunus is thus an example of a socially responsible organization that is committed with a lot of heart and professionalism to the rights and well-being of people with disabilities in the Main-Taunus district and has established sustainable structures for support and integration.
