Solidarity: A Local Gesture with Global Impact

Every year on December 20, the United Nations reminds us of a fundamental value: solidarity. This day highlights that cooperation and mutual support are essential to tackle major global challenges: poverty, inequality, social justice, education, and well-being. At SOS Kannerduerf Lëtzebuerg, we believe that international solidarity begins with local actions. Providing every child with a stable and caring family environment means taking concrete steps to reduce inequalities and promote social justice. Our caregivers work every day to create these conditions: a safe environment, tailored educational measures, and personalized support. These specific measures are crucial to meet the unique needs of children who have experienced family breakdowns or trauma. They help restore emotional stability, ensure academic success, and prepare for future independence. All our efforts are aligned with our commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For several years, the Foundation has placed sustainability at the heart of its strategy. Our priorities are clear: Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3): ensuring children’s physical and mental balance. Quality Education (SDG 4): giving every child the keys to succeed and thrive. Gender Equality (SDG 5): promoting respect and equal opportunities. Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10): enabling all children to find their place in society. Responsible Consumption and Climate Action (SDG 12 & 13): adopting sustainable practices to protect the future. Partnerships (SDG 17): joining forces with committed partners to maximize impact. By supporting SOS Kannerduerf Lëtzebuerg, you are part of a global movement for a fairer and more sustainable future in Luxembourg. Your local action has a global impact: it changes lives. Take action today and support us! Thank you for your solidarity! Every donation is more than financial support: it is solidarity in action. It helps a child regain confidence, succeed in school, and build a future.

Children’s Rights: A commitment beyond debate

Yesterday was World's Children’s Day. On this occasion, Valérie Oberlé, Chief Executive Officer of the Lëtzebuerger Kannerduerf Foundation, shares her perspective on this essential issue and reaffirms the importance of a collective commitment to protecting and promoting children’s well-being. November 20: World Children’s Day. Every year, this date returns like a call to our collective conscience, a mirror held up to us. It reminds us that children are not only the future: they are our most fragile present, the one that often reveals the truth of our society, despite ourselves.“Childhood is a weave of fragile forces: if we protect them, they become wings.” — Boris Cyrulnik We should read this sentence slowly; almost let it breathe within us. Childhood is not a simple territory. It is made of impulses and tremors, of curiosity and fears, of promises and vulnerabilities. What we do, or fail to do, to protect these fragile forces determines how they will one day turn into wings. Even in a stable, structured and prosperous country like ours, childhood remains a delicate whole, exposed to silences, neglect, and sometimes invisible wounds. We would like to believe that children’s rights are self-evident. But rights are only alive if we make them live. Protection is real only if we practice it. Care exists only if we choose it. Despite all the texts, conventions, and campaigns, we know that some children remain on the margins of the carefree life they should have. That is precisely why this November 20 is not a mere ritual, but necessary and firm reminder of our responsibility. For an organization like ours, placing children’s rights at the center is not a matter of positioning, but an ethic. Every child we support carries a unique story, a singular path. It is up to us to be guardians of that story, protectors of that path, and responsible witnesses of that growth. We owe every child an environment that reassures, encourages, listens, and respects. A space where they can make mistakes without fear, ask questions without shame, dream without limits. A space where their dignity is not only preserved but recognized as self-evident. This responsibility does not rest solely on procedures; it rests on people. On the teams who, every day, reach out, explain, soothe, observe, prevent, protect. Child protection is a daily work, made of adjustments, presence, coherence and attentive looks. The answer to this challenge lies in our hands, in our actions, in our vigilance, in our collective ability to choose care rather than merely denounce abuse. The words I use are not an injunction; they are a compass that guides us. They remind us that protection is never a given, but a living commitment. That it is built day after day, gesture after gesture.November 20: a reminder, a call, a promise On this World’s Children’s Day, we want to clearly reaffirm what lies at the heart of our mission. We choose commitment and trust. We choose responsibility. We choose courage. We choose to protect every child, every young person, without compromise. Protecting childhood is not only fulfilling our mission; it is shaping the world we will leave behind. It is accepting that every gesture counts, that every presence reassures, that every attentive look builds a trust that can change a life.As we reaffirm our commitment, it is right to remember other words that also resonate like a moral compass: “There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.” — Nelson Mandela As November 20 reminds us of what is essential, may we continue to reveal the best of our society. May we, together, ensure that every child is welcomed with respect, surrounded by kindness, protected without condition. And may we, above all, keep in mind this simple and immense promise: to make every childhood a land of carefree joy, where fragile forces can truly become wings.

November 20: World's Children’s Day

Every November 20, the world comes together around a simple and essential conviction: children’s rights are non-negotiable. This day does not belong to a single organization; it is carried by all actors—institutions, associations, families, citizens—who work to ensure that every child grows up in a safe, respectful, and caring environment. Children’s rights are enshrined in international conventions, but they only come to life if we make them live—together. Protecting childhood means giving every child the opportunity to learn, to dream, and to thrive without fear. At the Lëtzebuerger Kannerduerf Foundation, we place these rights at the heart of our mission. But we know this responsibility is a shared one. That is why we invite everyone to get informed, take action, and support initiatives that strengthen care and child protection. To learn more about Universal Children’s Day and discover the actions carried out in Luxembourg, visit Rights4kids.lu, the portal of the Service for Children’s Rights, set up by the Ministry of Education, Children and Youth. Together, let us ensure that every child is welcomed with respect, surrounded by kindness, and protected without condition.

Children’s rights

As part of the Universal Children’s Day, celebrated on November 20, SOS Kannerduerf Luxembourg reaffirms its commitment to defend, protect, and promote the fundamental rights of every child. This symbolic day reminds us that every child, without distinction, has the right to be heard, respected, protected, and supported in order to grow up with dignity and safety. It is also an opportunity to open dialogue on the realities that children experience today, both in Luxembourg and around the world. Through our new campaign, we aim to raise public awareness of these essential rights and to highlight the daily efforts of our teams to offer every child a stable, caring, and forward-looking environment. Actions by SOS Kannerduerf Lëtzebuerg: A. Children express their views on their rights: listen to their voices HERE >> B. Discover HERE the thoughts and commitments of our staff around children’s rights HERE >>All our initiatives lead up to November 20, when we will give children the floor. They will have the opportunity to ask their questions to the General Director of SOS Kannerduerf, Valérie Oberlé.

How your donations help?

Animal-assisted pedagogy

Experiencing and building positive relationships contributes to emotional stability and strengthens children’s ability to form personal and social attachments.

Art-assisted pedagogy

Working independently on creative projects allows children to express their feelings, without their needing to speak. This helps them to understand their emotions and their own life stories.

Experiential and individual pedagogy

When climbing, hiking, canoeing or doing playful tasks in nature, children and young people can take responsibility for themselves and others, develop conflict resolution skills and strengthen their own personality.

Individual support

Development and implementation of personal support measures, such as promoting the acquisition of skills and knowledge by children, adolescents and young adults.
