Scale-Up Programme: Vienna’s kindergartens integrate the Younus Family Mentoring programme

In this inspiring interview, we hear from our partner Younus in Vienna.

Together with Younus we launched a Scale-Up programme to expand their 1:1 mentoring initiative to all municipal kindergartens in Vienna, helping families and children thrive. 

Launched in 2020, The Human Safety Net’s global Scale-Up Impact initiative identifies projects with a proven social impact and provides them with both financial and non-financial multi-year backing.

At its heart is ‘open net’ collaboration with other organisations to increase the overall capability to help families and refugees around the world.
Projects eligible for Scale-Up Impact support have already been tested and aim to support a model that can be replicated in the long run.

In some cases, it is the public sector that takes over this work, by adopting it and introducing it into the services it offers locally or nationwide. In other cases, partners identify other methods of embedding their project in new locations for the long-term.

So far The Human Safety Net has deployed over €12 million in Scale-Up Impact projects, while our co-funding partners have contributed an additional €7 million. By working together, The Human Safety Net, its NGO partners, the public, and private and social sectors can replicate these successful models, thus transforming the lives of more people.
