Since 1998, Lichtblicke e.V. supports children, youths and families in North Rhine-Westphalia who are materially, financially and emotionally in need. The association was started by the 45 NRW local radio stations, the radio NRW, the Caritas associations of the five NRW dioceses and the social welfare work Rhineland-Westphalia-Lippe. The campaign Lichtblicke e.V. especially cares about those people who suffer from severe strokes of fate: the weak and disadvantaged people in our society who do not have a lobby for their matters. Above all, children are suffering from the misery situations of their families. The association wants to give attention, solidarity and funds to the smallest. Children are our future and deserve the help of everyone.
