We are committed to a world in which we all treat each other with respect and appreciation. A peaceful world in which communities have learnt to resolve conflicts constructively. A world in which children are strong and can develop in a self-determined way. And a world in which children have opportunities and rights and can realise them. They should acquire knowledge and skills and make their own experiences - we support them in this, worldwide and in the long term.

We are founded on the values of our founders Walter Robert Corti, Elisabeth Rotten and Marie Meierhofer: respect, justice, tolerance and openness. In line with the credo of our namesake Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, we focus on the equal education of head, heart and hand. We act on the basis of human and children's rights and support the right to self-determined development. Sustainability and local roots are at the centre of all our projects.

The current magazine not only contains exciting stories from all our project regions, you will also find facts and figures about our year 2024.

When realising our projects, we rely on cooperation with local people. After all, projects can only have a long-term impact if they are supported by the local community. For each of our projects, we work with local cooperation partners and realise the impact goals together.
