HORIZONT e.V.

About us

HORIZONT e.V. – Help for homeless children and their mothers for nearly 25 years.

Mothers and their children often live in terrible circumstances and become homeless all of a sudden due to serious strokes of fate they have to face. Such inhumane situations leave serious traces and often make it impossible for boys and girls to find an adequate place in our society. Corona has exacerbated the risk to become homeless.

In 1997 German actress Jutta Speidel founded the non-profit association HORIZONT for homeless children and their mothers. In 2004 the HORIZONT-House in the North of Munich could be inaugurated, providing a temporary home for them since then.

High security standards provide the best possible protection and shelter for children and adults. This is the place where they can calm down and learn how to take responsibility for themselves and their lives.

Unfortunately the children and their mothers haven’t experienced enough respect, love or care in their lives. The professional team of social workers is trying hard to strengthen their self-respect and to support them to find new aims in their life.
