The German organization "Verein zur Pflege von Erde und Mensch" supports and encourages children, teenagers and young adults with behavioural problems and psychosocial difficulties in its facilities. This is achieved by combining agricultural work, social therapy and curative education measures. In doing so, they act with social, economic and ecological responsibility. On the organically farmed Karcherhof, the children and young people in the day group are looked after in the afternoons, while a group of adults cultivate the garden and look after the animals in the mornings. The farm and around 10 hectares of arable and pasture land in the middle of a landscape and nature reserve provide a favourable environment for developing social and vocational skills. Once a year, the group leader would like to organise a one-week summer trip to offer the children and young people a week away from their familiar surroundings - to give them a chance to see something new, like the sea for example.
