We turn your donations into aid
For over 75 years, the Swiss Solidarity Foundation (SwS) has embodied the solidarity of the people of Switzerland.

Internationally, SwS supports the humanitarian projects of its 28 partner NGOs. In Switzerland, SwS works with various local organisations to bridge gaps in the Swiss social welfare system. SwS functions independently, responsibly and transparently, monitoring projects and seeing to the judicious use of donations. Since 1946, Swiss Solidarity has raised over two billion Swiss francs.
