What we do

Internships – someone shows interest in me
Tim is in despair. His parents have separated. He has difficulties dealing with it – at home, in school as well as with his friends. Right before graduating he drops out of school. He is looking for a way out and approaches FiN. They are looking for an internship together. The company supports and helps him. Tim graduates from school and starts a traineeship.

Daily help – now we can cope with it
Mrs. M. looks after her six-year-old granddaughter Julia. Julia lives with her, she is half-orphan. Her father works a lot. When Mrs. M. gets sick, she can't look after Julia like before: she can't help her with her homework, take her to Gymnastic classes or go shopping. FiN takes over these tasks until she gets better. So Julia can keep on living with her grandma.

Family assistance – the neverending fight has stopped
The three-year-old Anton sticks out in kindergarten with his aggressive behaviour. It turns out that his parents are dealing with major difficulties. Recently moved houses, the father loses his job. The family is in huge debts. The parents fight a lot. FiN gives advice and support to deal with their debts, the unemployment and care for their child.
