About us

As the mother of seven children, I know what it means to accompany your own protégées along their path in life; to protect and encourage them. Experiencing a happy, carefree childhood is unfortunately not something that can be taken for granted. For various reasons, countless children still grow up in need and without the warmth of a loving family home.

A superheroine would come in handy, ready to lend a hand at the right moment and remove obstacles from the way. But perhaps we don't need a superhero at all. An attentive teacher, a supportive neighbor, a helpful colleague - each and every one of us can do great things. My work at the children's aid organization is a daily testimony to the fact that small deeds can have a big impact. Every smile we give and every support we provide reminds me that together we can create a better future. I find deep meaning in this commitment.

The world is open to children if we give them the opportunities they deserve. Unfortunately, not all children have these opportunities. It is my firm belief that our society and we have a responsibility to support less privileged children. And - when sad, weepy children's eyes turn into smiling beams - then that is a wonderful thank you and for me the greatest possible motivation to continue on this path together in the SOS Children's Village team. Smiling children's eyes are the promising paths of humanity towards a better future for all of us.

As a father of two daughters, I know that every child is different and has unique needs. But what all children have in common is the right to protection, health, and a future. Ensuring these basic rights for every child shouldn’t be too much to ask. And yet, for millions of children around the world, this remains out of reach. At SOS Children’s Villages, I can dedicate my work to something that truly matters: making sure these children are heard.

I made a conscious decision to contribute my experience as a freelance communications professional to SOS Children’s Villages Liechtenstein. Because here, you can see exactly where support is needed—and what a difference it can make. Children should be able to grow up in a stable environment. Unfortunately, that’s not always a given. That makes it all the more important to pay attention. My job is to raise awareness of projects and explain what’s behind them in a way that’s easy to understand—so that people not only understand but can also empathize with what life is like for these children. This creates a sense of connection—and a willingness to help.

A carefree childhood should be a given, but unfortunately this is not the case everywhere. I have seen how unstable family circumstances can affect children's development. These experiences motivate me to work for the welfare of children in Liechtenstein and around the world. Every child has the right to food, a safe home, clothing, medical care and education. Even in more affluent countries, support for families and mothers is crucial. Through my work at SOS Children's Villages, I want to improve children's everyday lives and bring them joy.
