CSF a recognized Community Learning Center

Children's Shelter Foundation opened a Learning Center with 5 Sub-Study-Centers to provide training and therapy programs for students from age 6 to 25. This officially recognized program offers our students a chance to a better education, an opportunity to learn a certified profession and/or finish Senior High School. During their study time, the children live at our farm and are continuously involved in developing their knowledge on organic farming and sensitive Tourism.

Each and every one of our children has a task and responsibility. They have to learn how to interact with each other, and understand that life is valuable for them and others. Thanks to the support of our devoted staff this basic trust in themselves has turned them into good society members with a good heart and spirit.

Furthermore we offer workshops, short and long term programs for our children, for students and people of the community that have an interest in our project. We warmly welcome schools from anywhere in the world to come and stay and learn with us. Please ask us for our program "classroom without walls".
