The Child & Family Foundation is a charitable association based in Graz, Austria, which supports children, adolescents and families in need around the world.
The Child & Family Foundation
Since 2008, we have been spanning cultural and ethnical borders to provide support for children, adolescents and families in need under the guiding principle of “Education. Opportunities. Future”. We support various educational methods, focussing on the theme of “education for all”.
By constructing or improving schools in socially and economically deprived regions of the world, we help enable or improve access to education. In addition, we aim to improve the living conditions of financially, physically or mentally handicapped children, adolescents and their families.
How we finance our work
We finance our charity purely from donations and sponsorships from individuals or enterprises. In particular, the long-term partnerships with various enterprises and educational sponsorships enable us to implement our sustainable education and aid projects.

Alejandro Najera
Project Management
“I find working for the Child & Family Foundation very fulfilling. I am able to build bridges between generous people who are willing to help and poor people in need. As a globetrotter, I am also very interested in the Foundation's international reach. Other ways of living inspire me, they provide me with new input for my own life. Based on my experiences, I want people to be happier with what they have.”

Heidemarie Kipperer
Chairwoman & Director
"I am very much looking forward to taking on my new role and getting me and my team involved in lots of great climate protection projects. At the same time, I am thrilled to have the chance to make education more accessible to young people in need and thus open up new opportunities to them. Sustainability and social responsibility should go hand-in-hand and I would like to combine these two aspects even more closely in future."
Birgit Windisch
Secretary
“There is an unimaginable amount of poverty in the world. Particularly children who grow up in such poverty are often refused the chance of education that would give them a better future. Personally, I find it particularly important to help the weakest and to support them in accessing education. The Child & Family Foundation organises various school projects that provide these children with more opportunities in life.”
Monika Murárová
Treasurer
“In the course of my training and work in children's homes, I was in contact with children and families with adverse fates pretty early on. Since I've become a mother myself, such situations affect me even more directly. In my opinion, it is very important to support children and families in times of need, and to provide them with the chance of a better life. The Child & Family Foundation has already achieved a great deal. It has enabled numerous children to attend school, enjoy a warm meal a day or have new opportunities in life. I'm proud to support the association by being part of the team. Get on board and help us to make life that bit better for young people in need.”
