EN: care; protection; shelter
It's that "ampon" energy. When you see a stray cat and decide, "You live with me now." That act of taking something or someone in and giving them care and shelter is "kupkop". It’s what NGOs do, what foster parents do, and what you do for that friend who just had a bad breakup and needs a place to crash.
Often used in the context of adopting or fostering children, animals, or sheltering someone in need. It has a very positive and benevolent connotation.
