The Society's aim was to improve the living conditions of the lower classes by providing work, board and lodging, and education. In the peatlands of Veenhuizen and Frederiksoord/Wilhelminaoord, the Society founded pauper colonies where beggars and vagrants were put to work. Large areas of 'wilderness' were systematically cleared in order to set up the agricultural colonies. Subsequently, colonies were also set up in Ommerschans (in the province of Overijssel) and in Wortel and Merksplas in what is now Belgium.
