Kinderschutzbund Marburg

The Kinderschutzbund Marburg-Biedenkopf e.V. is a nonprofit child-protection association representing the interests of children and their families in the Marburg-Biedenkopf region. Its central goal is to uphold children’s rights and help every child grow up safely, develop their abilities, and participate in community life. The organization offers family counseling, including specialist advice on child welfare concerns, and support for parents experiencing mental health difficulties. Its services also include a children’s and youth telephone helpline, email counseling, parenting courses, and voluntary guardianships.

For young children, the association runs a play and learning group at Richtsberg, with age-appropriate activities that encourage language, movement, creativity, independence, and social skills. It also provides care for children in hospital and offers guidance and advocacy on issues such as school poverty and children’s rights. The organization engages families through information, community activities, and fundraising initiatives, and welcomes members, volunteers, supporters, and donations. Through these programs, the Kinderschutzbund works to strengthen families and ensure that children’s needs and rights remain visible.
