Foundation Future for Family supports projects in Aalen with over 20,000 euros

Aalen, Deutschland - The “Future for Family” foundation of the Catholic parish of Salvator in Aalen recently funded social projects with a total of over 20,000 euros. In a symbolic event, Board of Trustees Paul Sproll handed over a donation check of 20,933 euros to four social institutions that are active in the region. This donation is used for both 2024 and 2025.

The reception facilities are the family education center Aalen (FBS), the St. Josef children's and family center, the Greutschule as well as the integration and inclusion working group at the Aalen Sportalliance (ASA). Sproll emphasized that the foundation's focus is on the support of families and the promotion of social cohesion. Not only traditional families, but also unmarried couples, single parents, patchwork families and same -sex couples should be taken into account. Studies show that the family plays an important role in the life of young people, alongside friends and social contacts.

diverse projects for families

The projects supported by the funding are diverse and are aimed at different target groups. The Aalen family education center organizes the “PEKIP” program for young families, a men's consultation and neighborhood work, which includes a play about the “Little Prince”. There is also a fertility café that offers women support in a protected framework.

In the St. Josef children's and family center, a language course for legal attorney Ukrainian children is offered, while the little ones are looked after in a play group. With the provision of an internet license, the Greutschule promotes the handling of third-party and fourth graders with PC and social media. In addition, the Aalen Sportalliance offers a swimming course that should benefit socially disadvantaged children. A voucher for swimming lessons should also include parents and grandparents to promote equal opportunities.

sustainable support from family education

The importance of family education is also underlined by nationwide initiatives. In its offer, the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs emphasizes that family education serves to strengthen educational skills and to support families in different phases of life. These include courses and advisory services that offer parents valuable information on education topics.

Studies show that such offers in Germany contribute to strengthening families. In a comprehensive project, more than 2,188 institutions were recorded in 16 federal states that offer various programs and services in the field of family education. These initiatives could lead to even greater support for families in Aalen in the future.

With the promotion of diverse social projects and through the continuous strengthening of family education, the “Future for Family” Foundation in Aalen sets significant accents for better social cohesion.
