Foundation purpose and goals

In particular, the foundation wants to show drafts of social framework conditions that promote the desire for family and combine both economic and socio-political possibilities for a better compatibility of family and work . At the same time, the foundation demands and promotes a living environment for children that not only conveys the special security and protection of the family, but also successfully prepares them for the changes in the future.
