SOFT tulip connects Dutch care institutions with partners in Central and Eastern Europe to improve the lives of people with disabilities, the elderly, and those with mental health needs.
Our mission is to promote inclusion in line with the UN Conventions on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Rights of the Child: enabling children to grow up in families, ensuring people with special needs enjoy full citizenship, and phasing out institutional living wherever possible.
At the same time, we bring together Dutch care professionals and their colleagues abroad to exchange knowledge and experience, creating a mutual learning process that benefits care on both sides.
Rooted in freedom, equality, and solidarity, SOFT tulip envisions an inclusive society where empowered citizens, strong families, and supportive policies make participation possible for all.
