Self-Determined Life
Self-Determination Through Empowerment
Everyone deserves a chance to thrive
Our Self-Determined Life initiatives support projects that enable all people to actively participate in economic and social life, fostering inclusion and community growth.
Self-Determined Life
Everyone deserves the opportunity to actively participate in economic and social life. Independence and integration not only enhance personal fulfillment but also strengthen communities. Access to economic opportunities and social inclusion fosters a sense of belonging and empowerment, enabling people to contribute meaningfully to society. Building sustainable and self-determined futures ensures that all people can thrive.
Our initiatives support projects that empower individuals, including those with special needs, to achieve self-sufficiency and economic stability. We focus on enabling people to participate actively in economic life, supporting family and work balance through daycare facilities, and training daycare staff. Additionally, we back projects that help individuals facing difficult circumstances become active members of society, fostering a vibrant and inclusive community.

Key Initiatives
Hilti Childcare
The Hilti Foundation supports initiatives to meet the high demand for childcare in Liechtenstein. We focus on creating additional childcare capacities by renovating and expanding suitable facilities. Our projects aim to ensure that sufficient places are available for children, especially those of Hilti employees. This commitment helps families balance work and family life, contributing to a supportive and thriving community.
Verein Kindertagesstätten Liechtenstein
To address the significant demand for childcare and the shortage of qualified staff, the Hilti Foundation supports the training of childcare staff. Childcare facilities play a crucial role in helping families balance work and family life. The foundation has supported a training initiative led by the KITA association to enhance the skills of leaders in affiliated childcare centers. This initiative aims to ensure high-quality childcare and sufficient capacity to meet the growing needs, thereby contributing to the well-being of children and the community.
Heilpädagogisches Zentrum Liechtenstein
The HPZ is an organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities and specialized support for individuals with special needs. By contributing to the construction of a new, modern facility for the Protekta workshop, the Foundation ensures that this department will continue to offer a safe and accommodating work environment. This new facility is designed with the specific needs of the employees in mind, allowing them to thrive and gain meaningful employment while receiving the necessary care and support.
Sindbad Vorarlberg
The Hilti Foundation supports the “Sindbad” mentoring program, which assists young people from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds to identify and achieve their academic and career aspirations. The program aims to create equal opportunities for young people and help them find their own path to success. Hilti employees from Liechtenstein and Austria have volunteered as mentors, demonstrating their commitment to supporting the educational development and success of these young individuals.
Kinderschutz.li - Mental Health
The Hilti Foundation supports “Kinderschutz.li,” a foundation focused on strengthening children, adolescents and their families. The organization aims to prevent violence, cyberbullying, sexual abuse and addiction as well as addressing mental health issues among young people. Moving forward, the foundation will prioritize mental health, working in primary prevention with other relevant stakeholders to tackle this critical issue.
“This is a dream come true for us. Our former Protekta workshop in Mauren, around 60 years old, no longer met modern standards, especially for the special needs of our employees.”
