Mission

The World Wide for Children Foundation aims to create a loving educational environment for children worldwide, in line with the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and without regard to religion, belief in life, political mind, race or gender, with plenty of opportunities for development, which will enable them to become people who in turn want to give substance to mercy, forgiveness, love and more humanity. WWvK focuses on improving the facilities necessary for their development, such as nutrition, health, education, playability and social security and all that is related to it.

De stichting WereldWijd voor Kinderen stelt zich ten doel, aansluitend bij het Verdrag inzake de Rechten van het kind, voor kinderen wereldwijd, e.e.a. zonder acht te slaan op godsdienst, levensovertuiging, politieke gezindheid, ras of geslacht, een liefdevol opvoedingsklimaat te scheppen met volop ontwikkelingskansen, waardoor zij kunnen uitgroeien tot mensen die op hun beurt inhoud willen geven aan barmhartigheid, vergevingsgezindheid, liefde en meer menswaardigheid. WWvK richt zich met name op het verbeteren voor kinderen van de voorzieningen die noodzakelijk zijn voor hun ontwikkeling, zoals voeding, gezondheid, onderwijs, speelmogelijkheden en sociale zekerheid en alles wat daarmee samenhangt.

Stichting WereldWijd voor Kinderen is registered in the Netherlands. Stichting WereldWijd voor Kinderen has ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status, so donations are tax-deductible. You can deduct gifts that exceed 1% of your threshold income (minimum 60 euros). Periodic gifts (committed for 5+ years) are fully deductible without threshold.

Stichting WereldWijd voor Kinderen is a Dutch foundation (stichting) - the most common legal form for charities and public-benefit organisations in the Netherlands. A stichting has no members, is governed by a board, and is established by notarial deed for a specific purpose. It is the only Dutch legal form that can hold ANBI (public-benefit) status without member oversight. There are about 250,000 stichtingen on file at the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK), of which roughly 50,000 hold ANBI status with the Belastingdienst. It is registered with the Kamer van Koophandel (KvK), the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, with RSIN 816806019.

You can verify Stichting WereldWijd voor Kinderen's legal status in three ways. First, look up the RSIN directly on the Belastingdienst ANBI register: https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/nl/aftrek-en-kortingen/content/anbi-status-controleren and enter 816806019. The result page confirms whether the organisation currently holds ANBI status - a prerequisite for tax-deductible donations in the Netherlands. Second, search the Kamer van Koophandel public registry at https://www.kvk.nl/zoeken/ - the KvK record shows the legal form (Stichting / Vereniging / Coöperatie), registered address, board composition (where disclosed), and the date of incorporation. Third, every ANBI is legally required by the publicatieplicht to publish on its own website: the policy plan, financial statements, an overview of activities, board composition, and remuneration policy. A working ANBI page with current financials is the strongest signal of legitimacy beyond the registry. If all three sources agree on name, address and ANBI status, the organisation is legitimate.

You can donate to Stichting WereldWijd voor Kinderen directly through its donation page (https://www.wwvk.nl/word-donateur/). Dutch charities typically accept iDEAL (the standard Dutch online-banking payment method), Tikkie payment requests, Bancontact for cross-border donors, SEPA bank transfer to the organisation's IBAN (account numbers starting with NL), and online payment processors (Mollie, Stripe). Many larger Dutch charities use platforms like Geef.nl, GeefSamen, Kentaa, and Pifworld for online fundraising. International donors can give via SEPA (the Netherlands is in the eurozone, so intra-EU transfers are cheap), PayPal, or GlobalGiving. For donations to count as a 'periodieke gift' - fully tax-deductible without a threshold - a written agreement (overeenkomst periodieke gift) committing for at least five years is required. Always confirm the recipient's RSIN and ANBI status before sending funds intended for the tax deduction.

Stichting WereldWijd voor Kinderen carries the CBF-Erkend Goed Doel label - the Dutch quality seal awarded by the Centraal Bureau Fondsenwerving (CBF). To qualify, a charity passes a three-yearly independent audit covering governance (separation of board, oversight, and management), financial transparency (audited annual accounts, clear expense breakdown), effective use of donations, responsible fundraising practices, and a working complaints procedure. You can read the public 'CBF-paspoort' for Stichting WereldWijd voor Kinderen here: https://cbf.nl/organisaties/4532. The passport shows the most recent audit outcome and the headline financial ratios.

As an ANBI, Stichting WereldWijd voor Kinderen is legally required to publish the following information on its own website, free of charge and without a login (the 'publicatieplicht' obligation under Uitvoeringsregeling AWR 1994 art. 1a): the policy plan, an overview of the past year's activities, the financial statements (balance sheet, profit-and-loss, explanatory notes), board composition with names, and the remuneration policy for directors and key staff. Larger ANBIs (turnover above €50,000) must also publish a fuller financial report using the Belastingdienst's standard ANBI publication form. If you cannot find these documents on the organisation's website, that is a red flag worth raising with the board before donating.
