De Wijde Wereld Coaching en Begeleiding

What De Wijde Wereld Coaching en Begeleiding does

De Wijde Wereld Coaching en Begeleiding is a small-scale, privately held Dutch youth care provider founded in spring 2018 by Emmely Hakkert and headquartered in Montfoort, Utrecht. The organization serves children and young people aged 4-18 with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities, attachment issues, ADHD, autism, and trauma-related behavioral complexities, delivering four interrelated services: kleinschalig wonen (24-hour residential care across two groups — Villa Avontura with 5-6 children and Villa Kakelbont with 6-8 children), ambulante begeleiding (individual in-home or in-school coaching for several hours per week), dagbesteding (specialized day care for children up to age 12 in a farm setting), and respijtzorg (respite care for families). Care is delivered using the Verbindend gezag and Geweldloos verzet methodological framework, with individualized SMART-goal support plans reviewed quarterly.

The organization is HKZ-certified for Zorg en Welzijn (certificate K-021068/1, AGB code 94065558) and partners with Jeugdstem, Zorgstem, and Klachtenportaal Zorg for independent client advocacy and complaints handling. Its operational backbone is Zilliz, used for incident reporting, client process tracking, and internal monitoring; no proprietary technology products are developed in-house. The website, Facebook, and Instagram serve as the primary digital presence for top-of-funnel awareness, while referrals flow through municipal social brokers and direct intake.

De Wijde Wereld derives essentially all of its revenue from Dutch government-funded care channels under the Jeugdwet (Youth Act) and WLZ (Long-term Care Act), either through Persoonsgebonden Budget (PGB) arrangements administered via SVB or through Zorg in Natura contracts with the four Utrecht West municipalities of Woerden, Montfoort, Oudewater, and De Ronde Venen. PGB clients can be accepted from outside the Utrecht West region, but ZIN-contracted revenue is regionally concentrated. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; intake interviews are free, and rates are negotiated with municipalities or families under PGB rather than published. The organization employs 17 staff and remains founder-owned with no disclosed external investors, parent entities, subsidiaries, or funding rounds.
