Een oer-Nederlandse traditie
From Wednesday, September 24 to Wednesday, October 1, 2025, more than a hundred thousand children will take action against loneliness.
Being bullied or excluded, feeling pressured at school, having no one around to support you unconditionally: loneliness is an emotion that deeply affects children. One in ten children struggles with loneliness every day. These children feel less happy and are more likely to experience mental and physical challenges. We won't abandon these children. Together with you, we'll take action to combat loneliness in children and strengthen their resilience. At school, at home, everywhere!
Together we take action against loneliness.
THEME 2026
No child unsafe at home
No child should grow up in an unsafe environment. Yet, in the Netherlands, behind more than 100,000 front doors, children are growing up in unsafe home situations. Every single day. They experience physical violence, emotional abuse, and neglect. That's why, this year, we are taking action with you for children who are growing up in unsafe environments. We are raising awareness about this significant problem. We provide direct support, local help, and ensure that they are truly heard.
NIEUW Dit jaar! de ACTIEPORTEMONNEE
Dit jaar bieden we tijdens de kinderpostzegelactie een nieuw onderdeel aan: de Actieportemonnee. Een kans voor kinderen om niet alleen in actie te komen maar ook écht mee te beslissen. Scholen die meedoen aan de kinderpostzegelactie krijgen 150 euro per groep om te besteden aan een zelfgekozen doel. Zo wordt actief burgerschap nog leuker en concreter: kinderen gaan langs de deuren én beslissen daarna samen waar een deel van het geld naartoe gaat. Op deze manier ervaren ze dat hun stem telt.

Children's Stamp Campaign: a living tradition
The children's stamp campaign is a deeply Dutch tradition that's even considered intangible cultural heritage. Over a hundred thousand children from all over the country join forces every year to raise money for their peers—and have done so for generations.
But did you know that you can not only buy Kinderpostzegels, but also bags, plasters and cards, or make a one-off donation for school supplies or a buddy, for example, all year round?
