Networks
We are stronger togetherThe Pestalozzi Children’s Foundation is committed to the consistent implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in Switzerland. We have joined forces with other aid organisations to enhance our efforts even further.
Let deeds match words
In our capacity as a founding member of the Child Rights Network Switzerland, we have been a vocal advocate of the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in Switzerland since the 1990s. Our regular reports, campaigns and contact with politicians and media professionals ensure that the rhetoric issued by the government is matched by deeds.
Sustainable education effects
As a member of the Education Coalition NGO, we work together with other Swiss non-governmental organisations to promote the needs of children and our society. We establish child-friendly, sustainable education solutions in Swiss schools. Our focus is on education for sustainable development (ESD) and extracurricular youth work.
