Luxembourg (Helvilux) – Netty Klein-Hoffmann has officially taken the helm as president of Hëllef um Terrain (HUT) as of 1 February 2026, marking a new chapter of growth, trust, and stability for Luxembourg’s social support sector. She succeeds Claudia Monti, who recently stepped down after serving with dedication, ensuring a smooth internal transition that reinforces continuity for the organization’s newly reconstituted committees.
Accompanying Klein-Hoffmann in the newly reorganized management committee are Vafa Moyaed as vice president, Sophie Le Maner as treasurer, and Marisa Roberto continuing as secretary. Together, they embody a leadership team committed to guiding HUT with professionalism, compassion, and a shared vision.
HUT, founded from the remains of Luxembourg’s Caritas after the latter’s unfortunate €63 million fraud scandal in 2024, has quickly established itself as a vital lifeline for the country’s most vulnerable. The organization provides direct support to the homeless, refugees and migrants, children, young people, families, and other individuals in vulnerable situations.
With her extensive background in the care sector, Klein-Hoffmann brings both expertise and empathy to her role. She previously served as a board advisor at the Union des Entreprises Luxembourgeoises (UEL), worked with Labor Ketterthill, and was secretary general of Copas, the professional association for assistance and care services in Luxembourg. Her unique experience in social care equips her to understand the needs of both beneficiaries and the dedicated staff who serve them.
Since taking over most of Caritas’ social services in October 2024, HUT has already made a significant impact, supporting over 14,000 people across Luxembourg last year alone. The organization currently employs 378 staff members, with a strong team of approximately 100 volunteers contributing to its mission. Donations from 1,500 supporters totaling €360,000 reflect growing public confidence in HUT’s vision and operations.
Under Klein-Hoffmann’s leadership, HUT is defining its identity and values, emphasizing respect, inclusion, goodwill, and mutual help. “We are structuring our organization to align staff and volunteers with a shared mission, creating a cohesive and effective social service network,” she explained.
Looking ahead, HUT has ambitious projects on the horizon. A new home for unaccompanied children will open in Bettembourg by July 2026, and a recently launched initiative will assist vulnerable individuals with administrative challenges. Additionally, the organization will consolidate its offices in Leudelange to foster better communication and collaboration among staff.
Klein-Hoffmann is optimistic about HUT’s future: “We are laying the groundwork for a sustainable, compassionate organization. Our team is committed to staying the course, ensuring that HUT continues to provide essential support to those who need it most. Together, we can build a stronger, more trusted social service for Luxembourg.”
With a clear vision, a dedicated leadership team, and an unwavering commitment to vulnerable communities, HUT under Netty Klein-Hoffmann is poised to become a beacon of stability, care, and hope in Luxembourg.
