Kindness for Kids was founded in 2003 as a Munich based independent foundation under public law. Helping children with rare diseases and their families is our goal, at a scientific and social level. We organize holiday camps with medical assistance for affected children and siblings as well as vacations for the entire family with focus on experiential education. Furthermore, the foundation funds several urgently needed projects in basic and health services research in the rare disease field. Kindness for Kids is an operative foundation: not only do we organize and fund camps and vacations, we also set great value on personal care and attention. Personal support on site allows friendships to develop between children, their families and Kindness for Kids. The entire family looks forward to another re-encounter of familiar surroundings in the near future.

Moreover, we support the building of a national and international community of rare diseases as well as the networking of different interest groups such as medical doctors, patients and policymakers.

Overhead costs are independently funded to ensure that every donation goes directly to the patients and projects.
