Together, we make a difference!

School supplies, sports, music lessons, a birthday celebration or a fun day out. Things that seem normal for many children in the Netherlands, but not every family can afford them. One in twelve children grows up in poverty, which means about two per classroom. That’s far too many. Through Sam& voor alle kinderen, parents and caregivers can easily access support from organisations that help when money is tight at home.

Vebego Foundation proudly supports the work of Sam& voor alle kinderen, a collaboration between Leergeld Nederland, Jeugdeducatiefonds, Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur, Kinderhulp and Stichting Jarige Job.

Every child deserves to join in!

Sam& supports 315,000 children and young people aged 0 to 21 who grow up in families facing financial hardship. Parents with limited income can apply for support through Sam& to cover costs that many other families take for granted. Some examples:

  • Sports gear or a bike to get to school
  • Membership to a sports club, music lessons or swimming lessons
  • A birthday party or present
  • Joining a local club or association
  • Other essential costs that help children take part and feel included

Also available for you as a Vebego colleague

Through our partnership with Sam&, Vebego Foundation also offers support to colleagues working at Vebego companies. Are you struggling to cover these kinds of costs for your child(ren)? Then you can reach out to us through the support request. Together, we’ll see if we can support you through Sam& or another form of assistance.

There’s no shame in asking for help. It’s not always easy, but the difference it makes for you and your family – it’s significant.

How does it work?

You can submit a support request through the form on our website. Simply leave your phone number or email address, and we’ll get in touch to see how we can support you. Prefer to reach out yourself? That’s absolutely fine too.

The support you receive is a gift and never needs to be paid back.
