Leergeld Utrecht provides support to families so that children can participate in school, sports and cultural activities. Currently, 1 in 8 children in the municipality of Utrecht grow up in poverty. They are often literally on the sidelines.
We provide opportunities for children aged 0 to 17 to participate in indoor and extracurricular activities. With support from Leergeld, children can get their swimming diplomas or take music lessons. In addition, we support the purchase of a laptop, sportswear and/or a bicycle. All normal necessities of life, enabling children to flourish, develop and count.
