Protection, Relief and Hope for People in Crisis
Children and families affected by displacement, hunger, natural disasters, disease, war and violence need protection and immediate assistance. Children are particularly vulnerable in times of crisis. Our focus is on forgotten crises that receive little or no media attention. Through our funding, we help protect children, keep families together and provide effective support to people facing acute humanitarian emergencies.
We provide funding where help is needed most. For many years, we have supported trusted partner organisations that deliver rapid and effective humanitarian emergency relief to people in crisis-affected regions.
Equal Opportunities in Switzerland
Mutual understanding, openness and tolerance are the foundation for peaceful coexistence. Growing diversity in Switzerland is both an enrichment and a shared responsibility. Our funding aims to reduce social disadvantage affecting children and young people. Education plays a key role in creating equal opportunities.
Our focus is on initiatives that enable disadvantaged young people to realise their potential and develop sustainable prospects for a life in dignity.
