To prevent poverty from taking root:

Education – as early as possible.

The first three sponsored projects supported by the "Triumph für Kinder" foundation are located in Nuremberg. All three projects are located in socially deprived areas. Most of the children live in precarious situations, i.e. they are poor or are living on the poverty line.


Since the middle of 2008, the concept of "Child daycare facilities as family centres" has been implemented here. The objective is to improve the educational opportunities of children from low-income and educationally deprived social strata (with and without immigration backgrounds) and thereby contribute to the prevention of poverty.

From 2009 to 2012, the Lutheran University of Applied Sciences Nuremberg will monitor and evaluate all the offerings, services and processes at these daycare facilities in order to determine the effectiveness of their activities.

The way in which the potentials of early childhood are exploited, the children are supported and the parenting skills and confidence of the parents are reinforced will act as a model for other facilities in Germany.
