Fourteen community organizations in Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and Saba are working to create better opportunities for families in vulnerable circumstances. Through the Strengthening Families Together programme, these organizations receive financial support, knowledge and guidance. This enables them to improve their work and make a greater difference for children, parents and families.
Investing in strong organizations
The participating organizations support families facing poverty, domestic violence or other difficult circumstances. They offer parenting support, debt counselling and activities that stimulate children's development, among other services.
The programme helps these organizations become stronger and more independent. By sharing knowledge, working together and developing new skills, they can provide better support to families in the long term.
Learning and growing together
In November 2025, the participating organizations came together for a conference on Sint Maarten. Through workshops, site visits and sharing experiences, they learned from one another. This also strengthens cooperation between organizations on the different islands.
Five of the fourteen participating organizations are from Curaçao.
Working together for lasting impact
Strengthening Families Together is an initiative of Oranje Fonds and Kinderpostzegels, in collaboration with local partners. The first programme year was made possible in part by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Kingdom Relations.
Collaborating partners: Oranje Fonds, Kinderpostzegels, ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Kingdom Relations) (first programme year).
