A Mission of Care and Hope: Together for a Better World
At Teeninga Palmen, we believe that entrepreneurship is more than just making a profit. It is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people, near and far. Our mission is about care, hope and change. Whether it is saving children in need, supporting vulnerable groups in the Netherlands or creating beautiful green spaces, everything we do contributes to a better world.
Our International Mission: Hope for Children Worldwide
Joy Center, Uganda: A Haven for Vulnerable Children
In Uganda we work together with the Joy Center, a shelter that offers a safe haven for children who lived on the streets. These children often have a difficult past and have come into contact with poverty, loss and insecurity. Thanks to our collaboration with Stichting De Geopende Deur (Come Alive) we have been able to make a huge difference:
- 83 children rescued from the streets: These children now have a safe place to live.
- Education made possible: They are given access to an education that prepares them for a future full of opportunities.
- Daily meals provided: No child needs to go hungry.
- A loving environment provided: Every child receives the care and attention they deserve.
Projects in Kenya and Pakistan: Building a Hopeful Future
In addition to Uganda, we are committed to children in Kenya and Pakistan. In these countries, we support shelters and schools where children can grow up, learn and play safely. Come alive's commitment offers these children not only practical help, but also the realization that they are valuable and have a future.
Local Impact: Strong Together in the Netherlands
Care and Reintegration via Care Agency Amannij
Our social responsibility does not stop at national borders. In the Netherlands, we work closely with Zorgbureau Amannij to support vulnerable groups. Through day care and reintegration programs, we offer:
- Structure and guidance: For people who need a stable foundation in their daily lives.
- Practical skills: In an environment that supports and stimulates them.
- A place of appreciation: Where everyone feels seen and valued.
Supporting Young People in Smallingerland
In our own community we are committed to young people who have had a difficult start. Many of these young people have had to deal with problems such as drug use or a lack of structure. At Teeninga Palmen we offer them:
- A new opportunity: To set goals and find a positive direction.
- Personal attention: Because we believe in the power of sincere guidance.
- Work and projects: That help them restore their self-esteem and future prospects.
