Collaborate with Kinderpostzegels

For over 100 years, we've been able to ignite change through strategic partnerships. We're passionate about leveraging this experience, combined with our knowledge, reputation, and network, to make our programs and initiatives a success. We act as an initiator and connector between civil society partners, schools, knowledge institutions, businesses, governments, other funds, and, of course, children themselves.

Driver of togetherness

Thanks to the growing number of regular donors, funds, financiers, and support from those who placed their orders during the Children's Stamp Campaign, we have been able to reach hundreds of thousands of children over the years and strengthen dozens of initiatives at home and abroad.

Yet, we're seeing a growing need for help among children. In countries where we operate, the situation is deteriorating, and in the Netherlands, too, we're seeing more and more children falling behind. Our work is therefore more urgent than ever. This requires investments to help more children effectively. We do this with our strong partners in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, West Africa, and South Asia, as a catalyst for "togetherness."

Our history

Kinderpostzegels (Children's Postage Stamps) was established in 1924 to raise money for disadvantaged children. Since the 1970s, we have also been working abroad.

Since then, Kinderpostzegels has made a huge impact. Here are some examples:

  • the Child Labour Free Zones approach (Ethiopia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Senegal and India)
  • founder of the Child Helpline and the Children's Ombudsman (Netherlands)
  • the approach to combating child marriage and female genital mutilation (Ethiopia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Senegal)
  • improving education and security (Ethiopia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Senegal, India, Guatemala, Nicaragua)
  • and caring for orphans within the community (India, Cambodia)
