Save the Children Switzerland

As one of the world’s leading child rights organisations, Save the Children has been working specifically for the rights of children since 1919.

In Switzerland and around the world, we ensure that children grow up healthy, can go to school and are protected. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children’s unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach. We do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis.
