A very special Partnership

To support the Foundation’s projects, we have chosen our most recognizable group of figurines: the Eleven Dot Angels. With their inherent power, we hope to reach the hearts of as many people as possible. These angels are truly very special: They bear eleven multicolored dots on their green wings, instead of the usual eleven white wing dots. With this color variation, we incorporate a central design element of the Foundation as a visible symbol of our shared values.

Using a tool called the “stippling stick,” the painters of the manufactory apply each color dot by dot to the angels’ green wings. Then the heavenly messengers receive their gentle smiles. Artistic craftsmanship, executed with loving detail.

The World Childhood Foundation was established in 1999 by Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden with the goal of protecting children’s right to a safe and loving childhood and improving the basic living conditions of those children at risk of or affected by sexual abuse and violence. Currently, the World Childhood Foundation’s four sister foundations in Germany, Sweden, the United States, and Brazil collaborate with over 60 partner organizations in 9 different countries. The Foundation’s charitable work is funded solely by donations. Every contribution, large or small, helps the Foundation advocate for the rights of children who are at risk of or affected by physical or sexual abuse or exploitation.
