The purpose of the foundation is to purchase, build and operate a home in German-speaking Switzerland, where children and adolescents with physical or mental disabilities can spend temporary stays in community with therapists and animals. The geographical origin of the children and adolescents is not restricted. In addition to operating its own home, the foundation may also support other non-profit institutions with a similar purpose if the means are not sufficient. The costs of the children's stays, to the extent that they are not borne by the IV, other institutions or the parents, are to be paid from the foundation's funds. The foundation is religiously and politically neutral. The house is to be run in an open, peaceful spirit in direct contact with nature and especially with animals.
