Who we are

We at unanders are an open community. 20 families from Liechtenstein and the surrounding region are part of our self-help group. In each of these families live children of different ages with various forms of disabilities.

During meetings, shared outings, and activities, we exchange experiences and knowledge. We discuss problems and try to find solutions. We realize that we are not alone in facing the unique situations and daily challenges.

In an atmosphere of understanding and trust, all children are free to be who they are. We naturally experience community, joy, and acceptance.

We are committed to breaking down barriers and putting inclusion into practice. In the name of unanders, we reach out to authorities and organizations to clarify open questions and draw attention to our needs.

Our self-help group was founded in 1993 and has been officially recognized by the Office for Social Services (ASD) since the beginning.

Families affected are always welcome!

What connects us:

  • Community: We know what family life with a child with a disability can bring. We experience openness and understanding for our thoughts and feelings.
  • Exchange: We share everyday experiences, information, and tips. Through our WhatsApp chat, we keep each other up to date.
  • Activities: Shared experiences and the sense of togetherness within the group strengthen families and create friendships.
  • Information: We are engaged. In contact with authorities and organizations, we both receive and provide professional input and valuable information.
  • Visibility: Through public relations work, we advocate for inclusion and social participation. We are active in reducing fears of contact and raising awareness of our children’s needs.
  • Support: Thanks to donations, we can organize group outings, participate in awareness campaigns, invite guest speakers, or similar. In addition, we are able to provide targeted support to member families facing extra burdens.
