It is Switzerland’s leading organization for children’s aid, established more than 60 years ago.

Some 2,400 people in Switzerland, in offices in 30 countries, and all over the world, are working each and every day to achieve lasting change and relieve the distress experienced by millions of children, their families and their communities. Children are why our organization exists at all, and the focus of our daily work, informing our mission, vision and values. Children inspire us, guide us, and constantly amaze us. Their imagination is boundless, their adaptability incredible, their creativity overflowing and their resilience commands respect.

Children share their opinions with us, give us ideas and sometimes even the boost we need to go yet further. Our objectives are always to afford them better protection, defend their rights and change their lives, permanently.

With children, for children, we are active in more than 30 countries, working in vital areas such as health, migration and access to justice.
