Run for children
The lessons children learn in their first six years stay with them for life. But fragile family situations are often socially isolating for children. This means they miss out on important fundamental experiences. As a result, they are already on an unequal footing when they start pre-school.Together with the Human Safety Net Switzerland foundation, you are helping parents to lay strong foundations for their children’s future despite their difficult circumstances.
Fundraising project 2025: afternoon meeting for children from families affected by addiction and poverty
Paradiesgässli in Lucerne is a voluntary organisation for families affected by addiction and poverty. Their ‘afternoon meeting’ supports children aged 0–4 and their parents in difficult situations. The meeting cannot take place in 2025 due to a lack of funding. Your donation will help Paradiesgässli to continue with the afternoon meeting from January 2026. This means that young children will be able to receive child-appropriate support in the areas of bonding, movement, language or social development. Parents will receive advice on developing their parenting skills and experience belonging and connection through regular exchanges at the meeting.
Every donation counts. Thank you for your support.
