Projekt Familienstärkung von SOS Kinderdorf für starke Familien in Afrika

Familienstärkung in Afrika

Eine starke Familie ist die wichtigste Grundlage für die positive Entwicklung eines Kindes. Das SOS-Familienstärkungsprogramm soll verhindern, dass Familien aus sozialen Brennpunkten aufgrund von Armut auseinander brechen. Das Ziel der SOS-Familienstärkung ist es, dass Eltern und Alleinerziehende auf eigenen Beinen stehen und ihre Kinder selbständig betreuen können.
Viele Familien in Afrika stehen vor großen Herausforderungen. Zahlreiche Länder werden nach wie vor von Kriegen, Krankheiten und Hungersnöten geplagt. Jedes vierzehnte Kind in Subsahara-Afrika wird nicht einmal fünf Jahre alt, viele Kinder wachsen ohne Eltern auf.
Das SOS-Familienstärkungsprogramm hilft gezielt besonders bedürftigen Familien und deren Kindern, die in der Umgebung eines SOS-Kinderdorfs leben. Unsere Mitarbeitenden unterstützen sie bei materiellen Problemen, sie ermöglichen ihnen Zugang zu medizinischer Versorgung und helfen bei Bildungsfragen.

K-9 search dogs

Locating missing persons and animals

Under the direction of Alexandra Grunow and Rovena Lankau, the search dog centre trains dogs that can track people by their scent. In addition to training K-9 TrailTrainers, they have been helping out the police and state criminal investigation offices throughout Germany for years on a voluntary basis in the areas of rescue and forensics in real missions to track down missing persons or pets.

“Our dogs track down lost people before they are lost forever” is how Alexandra Grunow describes her work.

Happy Dog supports the search dog centre with food and material donations, joint campaigns and events.

For the humane keeping of animals

In order to keep zoo animals in a way that is as humane possible, a variety of measures are necessary: optimally designed enclosures, individual engagement with the individual animal species and species-appropriate feeding of the animals are just a few examples that modern zoos have to take into account today.

In order to be able to finance such measures, the zoo requires financial resources from sponsors like Happy Dog.

In addition, our sponsorship contribution enables nursery and school classes in particular to get to know the animal world, not only in theory, but also in practice.
