Together for children in need

On Wednesday, 3 December 2025 at 7:30 pm, it will be that time again: the annual Swiss Charity Concert will take place at the Tonhalle Zurich. This year’s event serves an urgent and vital purpose: saving lives. All proceeds from the concert will go to children in South Sudan.

Why South Sudan?

After a decades-long war, one of the world’s largest food crises has emerged in this region. In the eastern district of Akobo, near the Ethiopian border, one in four children is acutely malnourished. Combined with common childhood illnesses, malnutrition can quickly prove fatal. There is a complete lack of access to medical care.

Every fourth child in Akobo County suffers from acute malnutrition.

YOU CAN MAKE A VITAL DIFFERENCE

Here are some examples of costs from our emergency work in South Sudan:

  • 290 CHF is the monthly salary of a nurse.
  • 470 CHF is the weekly cost of malnutrition screenings.
  • 1,350 CHF covers the weekly cost of medicines and materials for our mobile clinic.
  • 4,000 CHF is needed to restore a well. We are planning to restore three in total.

Save the Children is the world’s leading children’s rights organisation and in Switzerland holds the ZEWO seal of approval for charitable donations. Your donation will be used exclusively in South Sudan. The total cost of the project is half a million Swiss francs. If you are interested, you will receive a progress report on our work on the ground.
