Especially for children and young people with a disability or with developmental disorders it is often difficult to cope with our world that is getting more and more complex. These children have abilities which they cannot develop without loving care and support.
For the parents it is often a shock when their child is born with a disability. There are a lot of questions and the parents are often helpless and feel left alone. When the child is still in hospital, the doctors and nurses are often too busy to answer all of the parents' questions. That is why in the Cnopf’s Children’s Clinic in Nuremberg an additional specialist is financed by the Foundation for Children and Young People. This specialist has enough time to listen to the parents, to comfort and support them wherever possible.
Young people with a difficult family background often have problems when they enter professional life. They need intensive assistance in order to cope with the working world. There are plans to use funds of the Foundation for Children and Young People to finance a specialist who supports young people entering professional life.

It is a good tradition of the Diakonie Neuendettelsau to look beyond borders and to help wherever help is needed.
The focus of our current activities in foreign countries is on the establishment of social structures within Europe which is growing together, especially in Eastern Europe.
In Masuren (Poland) we are building an old people's home and a College for the Care of the Elderly which, by the way, will be the first of its kind in Poland. The situation of the elderly in Poland will only change by qualified training of specialists.
The Laurentius-Stiftung is the responsible body for this institution in Poland. The foundation's proceeds will be used to finance this institution and similar facilities in other places.

The Diakonie Neuendettelsau was founded about 150 years ago. In our archives there are many sources about social history and the history of the Diakonie offering insights into the work and the society of the 19th and 20th century. The Löhe-Kulturstiftung is supposed to help to maintain this unique goldmine of social history for posterity. Many of the historical documents could not be worked through yet.

The Löhe-Kulturstiftung offers us the opportunity to

• look through these unique archives,
• keep the documents appropriately and according to archival preconditions,
• make them available for scientific research projects.
