Purpose of the support
If, in individual cases, public and private assistance to facilitate the continuation of the pregnancy and the situation of mother and child is not sufficient, benefits from the "Landesstiftung Hilfe für Mutter und Kind" (State Foundation for Mother and Child Support) may be considered. This is intended to make it easier for pregnant women who find themselves in an emergency situation and are dependent on the help of others to continue their pregnancy.
Object
Eligible expenses are those incurred on the occasion of the birth of a child and which are likely to make it significantly easier to carry the pregnancy to term (e.g. maternity clothes, initial baby equipment, household and furnishings).
Expenses for a period of up to 36 months after the birth of the child are eligible, in justified exceptional cases up to 48 months.
Beneficiaries
The benefits are granted to girls and women who are pregnant at the time of the request for assistance.
Type and amount
Funding is provided in the form of conditional grants. The extent of the benefit depends on the need and the particular circumstances of the individual case.
