Connecting Hearts
Foundation for Children of Prisoners
How does a child feel when he or she tries to understand that a parent has been sentenced to prison for a while? Deeply saddened on the one hand about the renunciation of closeness and about what may have happened there. On the other hand, they pragmatically search for their good way of life – just as children always manage to do, despite being hurt. Far too little attention is paid to the situation of these innocent children throughout society.
Let’s talk more about these vulnerable children, take their needs more seriously, and pave the way for a brighter future for them.
The Issue
Over 2 million children
of prisoners
Unfortunately, the imprisonment of a person is always also a punishment for his or her family. Thus, in Europe today, more than 2 million children grow up with at least one parent serving time in a penal institution. Connecting Hearts wants to prevent these children from falling into a vicious circle.
The Foundation
Let's give the children good prospects!
Connecting Hearts launched in 2022 to connect people and projects working on behalf of children of prisoners. Our shared goal is to make a tangible difference in the lives of children of prisoners. Learn more about us here, get to know us – and let’s achieve more together.
The Founder
„A good future for the children is close to our hearts”
Behind Connecting Hearts are many personalities with very different backgrounds who form a strong international network. The foundation was established on the initiative of Oliver Drews, CEO of the Telio Group.
