Home environment adaptations
We all want a home where we feel safe and comfortable. However, living spaces are not usually designed for the needs of people with disabilities. We support you in adapting your living space to your individual needs.
Being there for Thalidomide-affected people – that is our mission and our driving force.
Our work is shaped by a team driven by a profound sense of moral responsibility – acting with respect, dedication, and genuine commitment to every person affected.
The Grünenthal Foundation for the support of Thalidomide-affected people
Listen. Support. Empower.
In addition to existing financial assistance, people affected by Thalidomide can receive the following support from us:
Vehicle conversions
Having your own vehicle ensures independent mobility and supports participation in social life. For this reason, our foundation provides funding for expanded equipment options and vehicle conversions.
Personal accompaniment
Travel is important for everyone, including Thalidomide-affected people. It plays a key role in enabling people to visit family and friends, experience new things, and leave their everyday routines behind. For people affected by Thalidomide, even taking a walk in their own neighbourhood can be challenging. For this reason, we provide support for travel and other activities outside the home.
