Immanuel House

Mother and Child House in Vienna, CARITAS

Immanuel House is a transitional residence for homeless women and their children. It is open to women of any nationality and religious affiliation. The intensively supervised small apartments are integrated into a classic Viennese residential house. A trained team accompanies and supports the families during their stay there. The goal is to accompany the women until they can organize their lives independently again.

The JUCA is a home for young, homeless men and women. A team of social workers and counsellors supports the young adults in overcoming personal, legal, social and financial problems as well as general crisis situations. Together, they look for ways in which the residents can get their lives back on track.

ZPC

ZWI Perez Chajes School

The ZPCS is a public school with public rights. It comprises a private kindergarten, a private primary school and associated after-school care centre as well as a private secondary school with public rights. The school offers all subjects of the educational canon prescribed by the Austrian education system as well as subjects beyond this. The team of teachers also pursues the goals of education, general education and personal development in a complex unit. The integration of children with a migration background, children with disabilities as well as social and psychosocial problems is an important concern of the ZPCS. Our contribution directly finances the implementation of educational projects focussing on language skills.

CliniClowns

Hospital visits by laughter therapists

Laughter as medicine. With their visits, the CliniClowns give sick children, adults and geriatric patients the joy of life and let them briefly forget their physical pain and mental suffering. The clowns are specifically trained individuals, including social workers, freelance artists, educators and therapists. “Clown therapy" is a complement to conventional medicine and has a positive effect on recovery.
