Preface

“Kom over en help is in the middle of a process of change. The new

focus of Kom over en help will be on Child & Family. We welcome new

partners and say goodbye to others. But the need of help stays.

Children and their families in Eastern Europe and Eurasia have the

right on a dignified and valuable life. In obedience to our Christian

calling we want devote ourselves to this task. In 2010 we were able to

do this task through gifts and help from lots of people. In this annual report we look back

at the things we’ve done, of course in dependence of God, Who gave us the resources to

do our job. In that we can see the faithfulness and blessings of Him, Who never changes.

From that perspective we look back and from that perspective we look forward. Despite

all the changes He is our assurance!” Gerben Heldoorn (Chairman of the board)

Policy

Kom over en help and her partners wants to work for children who are restrained in

building a dignified and valuable life. The purpose of the interventions is to promote the

spiritual en physical well-being, so that signs of hope and the future of Gods Kingdom will

be visible in this world. The starting point in Kom over en help’s policy is the ‘family

approach’; every human, every child is part of a family. Kom over en help considers

children as a blessing from God. Parents are primary responsible for the needs of the

child. Kom over help believes that both parents have a significant influence on the well-

being and development of a child. When necessary, parents must be stimulated and

strengthened in taking their responsibility for parenthood. In that way the position of the

children can be safeguarded. In that context Kom over en help aims at prevention and

the diversity in shape and structure of families in different cultural contexts. Kom over en

help wants to execute this policy in transparency and equality with the local partners.
