Work-life balance, equal opportunities and integration.
Since 1901.

familea (formerly Basler Frauenverein) is a socially responsible association with a tradition of over 120 years in the Basel area. The range of services includes over 30 daycare centers with around 1,400 care places, a children's home with three decentralized residential groups, a transit home for clarification and crisis intervention, a women's counseling center and the Center for Foster Children Northwestern Switzerland. Reconciliation of family and career, equal opportunities and integration form our guiding principles for the design of support.

Become a foster mom!

Some children suddenly find themselves without a familiar home. What do they need now? A strong woman with a heart, patience and life experience.
With your life experience, you can provide a foster child with a stable and loving environment for a period of time.
