lives transformed

“Families are often called the backbone of our society, and children our future. If that’s true, then the best thing we can do is support families and provide children with a future perspective. Our children’s and family center, bärenstark, is meant to be a place where exactly that happens.”

Manuela Schiller, head of bärenstark Erfurt

OUR VISION

bärenstark Erfurt is an initiative for family education/support and open child and youth services. Based on a Christian view of humanity, we aim to support children, strengthen families, and connect them with the church.

We work in a prefabricated housing area and social hotspot, the Roter Berg. Here, unemployment rates, school dropout rates, and youth crime are high.

Through our programs, we seek to improve the participation opportunities of children and families and provide them with life and career prospects.
