about Kinderpostzegels

About us

Kinderpostzegels is the charity organization with and for children. We stand for equal opportunities for every child. Many children are 10-0 behind in life. Poverty, loneliness and problems at home prevent them from getting the best out of themselves.

Kinderpostzegels is there for these children.

Because every child deserves equal opportunities. We provide impactful programs that strengthen the resilience of children, near and far. And within which children think, act and decide for themselves.

In this way, Kinderpostzegels makes a difference with and for children 365 days a year.

Our history

Kinderpostzegels have been strengthening the resilience of children for 100 years. We look back on a great history, with special highlights. Did you know, for example, that we were the founders of De Kindertelefoon? And that the children's stamp campaign has been officially included in the National Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory?

Mission vision

What we stand for!

We are working towards a resilient generation of global citizens, in which
all children can participate and advocate for children in
vulnerable situations.

Our strength lies in connecting generations, networks, and
stories, both locally and across borders. We are not just a charity
but a movement: from child to child, from neighborhood to world.

Our organizational structure

In 2030, we want to look back on a period in which we expanded the movement of children who contribute ideas and dedicate themselves to helping other children. A period in which we had a visible local presence, leveraged new digital opportunities, and formed smart partnerships.
