Home - helping pregnant women - protecting children - strengthening families

Mission statements

Marie Elisabeth Hohenberg
Chair of the board

“We give the unborn children a voice! We represent their right to life and promote those who bring this concern to society with concrete projects. As a donation-financed foundation, we help pregnant women in emergency situations so that they can say YES to their child and have a stronger look into the future.

We support advice centers for pregnant women who finance themselves without state support, as they do not issue advice certificates for unpunished abortions. We support children with disabilities and support projects in the area of life protection and family support.

Happy families are the basis for a life-affirming society. ”

Gloria Princess of Thurn and Taxis
Member of the board of trustees

“Life protection is very important because around 40 million children in the womb are killed in the most brutal way worldwide every year. The embryo is cut apart while the body is alive and the individual parts of the body are then suctioned off. Abortion is the leading cause of human death worldwide, far ahead of any serious illness. It’s about education and help! Many women have no idea of the seriousness of the trauma after an abortion in their own lives. These women also need emotional support. The FOUNDATION YES TO LIFE takes care of all this. ”

Dr. Josef Dohrenbusch
Chairman of the Board of Trustees

“I support the YES TO LIFE FOUNDATION because I see how effectively it supports many projects in the field of life protection and family education. The foundation sets great standards to support a variety of initiatives that put the family model as the nucleus and cornerstone of society at the center of its commitment. ”

Hartmut Steeb
Member of the board of trustees

“I support the YES TO LIFE Foundation because it provides an indispensable answer for life against the spreading culture of selection and death. Because the “yes to life” no longer applies to every person in every phase of their life and the state protection, especially for unborn children, is completely inadequate, private engagement is required for the yes to life to prevail. ”

Consuelo Countess of Ballestrem
Deputy Chair of the Board of Trustees

"I support the YES TO LIFE FOUNDATION because" yes to life "and devotion to the weak, the smallest, the needy or the dying are the keys to the well-being of every individual and of society as a whole. This “yes” corresponds to the natural basic intuition of most people, not just Christians. It gives them happiness, meaning and self-respect. Thanks to its loyal donors, the foundation can provide financial support for initiatives and institutions that advocate a culture of life and help mothers, fathers and families in crisis situations to say "yes" to their unborn child. "

Dr. Nikolaus Hohenberg
Member of the Board

“I am involved in the FOUNDATION YES TO LIFE, because abortion is a particularly perfidious form of selection that should not be handled, especially in our western world. "

Hedwig Countess of Buquoy
Deputy chair of the board

“I support THE FOUNDATION YES TO LIFE because it helps many people in need. The numerous projects she supports point to the inviolability of human dignity (Art. 1 Para. 1 Basic Law), which in our society’s consciousness is becoming increasingly arbitrary and useful. ”
