We also do important work for disadvantaged children in Switzerland: More than 60% of refugee children arriving in Switzerland are younger than 6 years of age.

We give them shelter in our child-friendly spaces in Swiss asylum centres. In child-friendly spaces, refugee children can recover from their often traumatic experiences and develop healthily through regular learning and play activities.

CHILD-FRIENDLY SPACES

Our work with refugee children is one of our programme’s main focuses in Switzerland. In our child-friendly spaces in Swiss asylum centres, asylum-seeking children can find protection, receive targeted psychosocial support and are allowed to be just children for once.

Whether in Switzerland or abroad, all children have the right to a child-friendly environment in which they can grow up protected and healthy. Give children a chance for a better future. Every donation counts and is used where help is most urgently needed.
