Promote good sleep for healthy development through mattresses

Age-appropriate development requires more than just nutrition and education – it also requires healthy sleep, which enables children to be awake and alert in kindergarten and school.

Beds are rarely found in the homes of informal settlements. Often several family members share bedding that does not keep out the cold and offers little sleeping comfort. Good sleep is very valuable and plays a crucial role in the physical and mental development of children: During sleep, the body produces hormones that are important for children's physical growth, and sleep also supports cognitive development, learning, and memory formation. Improving the quality of the sleeping environment with mattresses promotes the healthy development of children. Inadequate sleep, on the other hand, causes concentration problems, behavioral problems, and can lead to impaired immune function. It is therefore crucial that we pay attention to children's sleeping habits and provide them with an environment that supports restful sleep. Improving the quality of the sleeping environment with mattresses promotes the healthy development of children.

Now equip 195 students from poor families with mattresses for healthy sleep and good dreams and donate a mattress now.

1 mattress = 54 €
