Who gives a hand receives it

Where the state does not arrive it is the third sector that thinks about. Or rather, the recipe for success is perhaps to give a hand to each other. Especially in times of economic crisis. As in the case of the foundation “Mutter und Kinder Bundestiftung”, which in Germany helps every year approximately 150 thousand pregnant women to carry the pregnancy to term and to take care for their child. Funded by now 25 years in part from the Ministry of Family and partly through private donations, the network covers many expectant mothers needs, from medical care, to the support for the home. But also clothing and other goods for the baby. The only condition to take advantage of the special services is that social assistance is not received or it is insufficient. The duration and amount of support depends on the personal circumstances of the applicant. In case of excessive number of candidates, priority is given to the most serious situations. And coordination with the others  territorial associations is fundamental. First of all those dedicated to health care.
