What we do

kleine herzen is a non-profit association that wants to give disadvantaged children in Ukraine and Cambodia a better future. With the help of volunteers, sponsorships and educational projects, we can ensure that no child is neglected. Since our founding in January 2007, we have helped hundreds of children attend school, participate in activities, revive their spirits and integrate into society.

Since its inception and until June 2022, the kleine herzen supported disadvantaged children in the Pskov region in Russia and successfully carried out numerous projects to improve their living and educational conditions. Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the international sanctions imposed on Russia, it is no longer possible to support Russian children.

And with every child we help, we make sure that we develop a personal relationship with them. Our transparent work and use of funds was awarded the Austrian Seal of Approval for Donations in 2010.

Our supporters

Our deepest gratitude goes to our partners, sponsors and godparents of children for their support that enables us to achieve our mission:

we want to give the children we support appreciation, independence and emotional stability to prepare them for life. We want to give them the opportunity to integrate into society as adults and lead a happy life.
