Find us on Facebook under the group "Kinderhaven" and become a fan!

We hope you’ll join us in caring for a group of children who can be easily forgotten: children who’ve had so much pain and so little love in their lives.

Please know without a doubt, without a single doubt, that your contribution will help give these children back their right to thrive, planting the seeds that will help them grow into healthy, responsible, and loving adults.

Being a child shouldn’t have to hurt.

Our Mission:

Kinderhaven is a community organization dedicated to supporting children in crisis, giving them back their right to thrive by providing a safe, secure home in which their emotional, physical and mental well being are protected and enriched.

Kinderhaven is...

• a group foster home and emergency shelter for children who have been removed from their home for their own protection.
• here for children who come at a moment’s notice....day or night.
• the only facility of its kind in North Idaho.
• a non-profit organization, directed by a volunteer Board of Directors.
• making a big difference in ways big and small, in the lives of children whose bodies and hearts have been terribly hurt.
• hope for so many children.
  
  Over 1300 children have passed
  through the door of Kinderhaven
  since first opening in 1996.

It takes between $17,000 - $20,000 each month to keep Kinderhaven open because we are staffed 24 hours a day, all year long.
