Jeder Rappen zählt 2009 – 2018

We ran the ‘Jeder Rappen zählt’ (Every penny counts) fundraising campaign from 2009 until 2018. Find out here how your donations were used.

From 2009 to 2018 we ran ten issues of the ‘Jeder Rappen zählt’ (Every penny counts) fundraising campaign along with the Swiss broadcasting company SRF.

The aim of the campaign was to celebrate the tradition of humanitarian giving in Switzerland and to communicate it to the younger generation in particular. Thanks to the partnership with radio and television SRF SSR, we were able to pass on our message to a great many people.

Many children, families, schools and kindergartens also launched their own fundraising campaigns, thereby contributing to the success of ‘Jeder Rappen zählt’.

Thanks to your support for ‘Jeder Rappen zählt’, we and our partner relief organizations have been able to help a large number of people either living in poverty or at risk because of war and conflict. Many thanks to everyone who were part of ‘Jeder Rappen zählt’!

Water (2012)

Children at a newly constructed well.

About 800 million people around the world have no access to drinking water. Every day 3,000 of them die from diarrhoea, mainly as a result of contaminated drinking water or poor hygienic conditions. With the CHF 7,502,827 we raised, 25 projects were funded in 19 different countries.

Our partner relief organizations used this money to build wells, sanitary installations and rainwater collection systems.

They also taught people simple rules of hygiene. This means that they are less likely to suffer from diseases caused by dirty water and lack of hygiene.
