Emergency Assistance

Protection, Relief and Hope for the Forgotten

Children, women and families suffering from displacement, hunger, disasters, disease, war and human cruelty are to be protected and given new hope. The forgotten crises, which receive little or no media attention, are our main concern.

We want to provide help where it is most needed. We have been working closely with specialist and established organisations for many years to improve the lives of those affected.

Poverty and Inequalities

Diversity as a Strength: Integration and Equal Opportunities in Switzerland

We are convinced that mutual understanding, openness and tolerance are the foundation for peaceful coexistence. Today, Switzerland is experiencing increasing diversity and cultural enrichment thereby. This is where we place the focus of our commitment. Our aim is to minimise the growing poverty in Switzerland and reduce inequalities.

We pay particular attention to promoting the integration of young people with a migration background, whereby we consider education to be a key factor. By working collaboratively, , we can promote an inclusive society in which disadvantaged young people can unfold their potential and can live in dignity and prosperity.
