De Sloep provides support to vulnerable families with young children in all their diversity. They do so in an easily accessible way with the ultimate goal of increasing self-reliance. It offers parenting support and health promotion through reception and group work. Support on 1) material support of basic needs for babies & young children (clothing, nappies, food, etc.) and 2) family support (workshops and interaction moments around healthy food, health, language integration, etc.).
The mission of Danone speaks for itself: ‘to bring health to as many people as possible through nutrition’. During the first 1000 days of a child’s life, healthy nutrition and good care are very important, but for vulnerable families of limited means this is often not a priority or a possibility. The Fund can help support De Sloep and contribute to the health of children and families in Ghent (for example, starter packs that enable the parent to fulfil basic needs).
