We take care of children and young people who cannot live in their original families. About 40 children between the ages of 7 and 18 live in the Children's Village. The staff consists of professionals such as psychologists, teachers, social workers, youth workers, etc. Three volunteers are placed in different houses. They assist the staff with daily activities: meeting the children after school, cooking, studying, doing housework, playing and spending free time and so on.

Volunteers learn about the Austrian social welfare system, improve their social skills, get an insight into social work, educational and therapeutic methods.
