The work of the Child & Handicap Fund in the Netherlands focuses on three important pillars: direct help, scientific research and information. Prevention is better than cure. That is why it not only focuses its work on the children who need help now, but also tries to reduce new and existing disabilities and chronic diseases.

Help for individual children. Children and young people with a chronic illness or an intellectual, physical or multiple disability encounter various problems. For example, they experience problems with daily activities, school, university, work, transport, living at home, with self-reliance and with finding or maintaining social contacts. The Child & Handicap Fund offers support by, among other things, making it possible to finance aids, sports, therapy, recreational activities, adjustments to the home and adapted learning and transport equipment. In addition, the Child & Handicap Fund is committed to inclusion. It believes it is important that disabilities and limitations are accepted and that there is more understanding for them. So that all children can simply participate in our society!
