RSS Feeds24.06.2009: The "Triumph für Kinder" foundation presents long-term support projects in Nuremberg
The Triumph-Adler "Triumph für Kinder" foundation has been supporting children in need since it was founded in 1996. The "Children Report Germany 2007" by the Kinderhilfswerk (Children’s Charity of Germany) and the first "World Vision Children Study 2007", with alarming results regarding the situation of children in Germany, have endorsed Triumph-Adler’s decision to extend the activities of its foundation in 2009, in order to support the fight against child poverty head-on.
Nuremberg, 24th June 2009 – One in six children in Germany* live on the poverty line. This amounts to nearly 2.5 million children. "Children who lack the opportunities to receive an adequate education will find it hard to escape poverty later in adult life. Our foundation will therefore concentrate on and dedicate itself to the subject of 'early childhood education' in a more intensive and sustained manner," explained Robert Feldmeier, Deputy Chairman of the "Triumph für Kinder" foundation and Spokesman of the Management Board of TA Triumph-Adler AG in Nuremberg.
Poor children live in a vicious circle. They often have an unhealthy and inadequate diet, exercise less and increasingly remain among their own kind in isolated residential areas.
Even small children very quickly realise that they are socially disadvantaged and marginalised. In order to break this vicious circle of inadequate education, poor diet and too little exercise, effective action must be taken at an early stage.
Therefore, the "Triumph für Kinder" foundation supports selected social institutions and initiatives with a caring, ongoing and sustained commitment to improving conditions for children growing up in socially deprived areas.
An exemplary initiative of this kind is the Nuremberg "Bündnis für Familie" (Alliance for the Family), through which the "Triumph für Kinder" foundation joins others in giving disadvantaged children a fair chance of receiving more, better quality education, a healthy diet and physical exercise.
Since the middle of 2008, this initiative has been putting the concept of "Child day care facilities as family centres" into practice in Nuremberg. 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 provisions, services and processes at these day care facilities in order to determine the effectiveness of their activities.
The way in which the potentials of early childhood are utilized, 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.
