About Metakids:
"Our mission
Metakids fights for a world in which metabolic diseases are treatable or preventable and where no child dies from a metabolic disease. Metakids makes every effort to ensure that all metabolic diseases are treatable or preventable within 20 years.

Vision
Metakids wants everyone to know about metabolic diseases and is raising the necessary funds so that these diseases are no longer a death sentence for the children who have them. Hereditary metabolic diseases are among the top three causes of death among children in the Netherlands. The diseases cause serious physical and mental disabilities in thousands of children. The solution lies in research. With targeted, innovative research, it should be possible to have an effective treatment for at least half of all metabolic diseases within ten years. Twenty years from now, in 2042, all metabolic diseases should be treatable or preventable. That is what Metakids is committed to, together with parents, doctors, specialists and researchers.


Goal
Our goal as a professional fundraising organization is to enable effective research into metabolic diseases, so that the great suffering of the families affected by it ends. That is why we ask people to donate as much as possible and to talk about the diseases in their environment, so that everyone becomes aware of the importance of research. We play the role of catalyst and connector to bring the right people, organizations and expertise together to make that research have the greatest possible effect. "
