Children's stamps

Growing up safely. That should be a given.

No child should grow up in an unsafe environment. And yet, in the Netherlands, behind more than 100,000 front doors, children are growing up in an unsafe home situation. Every single day. That's why we're taking action together with you. We provide immediate support, local help, and ensure they are truly heard. Together, we can make a difference. Because growing up safely should be a given.

We are a movement of children


Only with children can we make a difference. For us, that means more than just participating: it’s about real influence. Children think along, speak along, and decide along about what affects them.

"There are children who don't feel safe, and I'm glad I can help them." - Saoud (11)

What we can do with your support

Through the children's stamp campaign, the Children's Wallet, 'children make the neighbourhood' and the children's panel, thousands of children take action for their peers annually. Thanks to their efforts and your donation, thousands more children received a helping hand. Both in the Netherlands and abroad!

Work together?

For schools

Do you work in education? Kinderpostzegels is the right partner for you. With various tools and programs in the areas of resilience, participation, and citizenship, we have been collaborating with thousands of schools throughout the Netherlands for decades.

For social organizations

You can never achieve real change alone. Together with social organizations, we ensure that children have a strong safety net. Both in the Netherlands and abroad.

For businesses and foundations

There's so much to do. We can't do it alone. That's why support from companies and philanthropic foundations is desperately needed. Together with them, we can set up projects and programs that would otherwise never have existed.

"I think it's important to help people. That makes me happy and them too. That way everyone becomes happy." - Rania (11)

What resonates with children today

Kinderpostzegels is the charity organization for, by and with children. We ensure that children in vulnerable situations receive the support, attention, and help they need. We do this together with children, from child to child, from neighborhood to world. These challenges have a significant impact on the lives of today's children:

Mental health

The mental pressure on children is increasing worldwide. In the Netherlands, we observe the same worrying trend:
young people report more stress, more emotional problems, and more psychosomatic complaints than ten years ago. Mental health is the silent crisis of this generation. And this
crisis often starts at a young age.

Poverty

Poverty has a major impact on the development of children. The stress it causes affects their memory and concentration and often comes at the expense of their long-term health.

Loneliness

Research commissioned by Kinderpostzegels shows that one in ten primary school children often or always feels lonely. Children say this is often due to (online) bullying and exclusion, the lack of unconditional support at home or in their environment, or due to the pressure and stress that school entails.

Growing up safely. That should be a given.

Give and help children who grow up in unsafe environments.
