Your contribution to a more peaceful world

Bild International_Freundeskreis

The world has changed since the children's village in Trogen was built after the Second World War. The will to create peace through international understanding has remained. We must arm children against racism and prejudice at an early age and show them ways in which conflicts can be resolved without violence. As a member of the Circle of Friends, you support our projects in Switzerland and twelve countries worldwide and make a valuable contribution to a more peaceful coexistence.

Help
sustainably

For a secure base

Guaranteed continuity

The regular donations from the members of the circle of friends enable us to carry out our education and exchange projects on a secure basis and guarantee quality and continuity in our work. In the Pestalozzi children's village in Trogen, where over 2000 children from Switzerland and abroad meet every year. In twelve countries around the world, where, thanks to our projects, children and young people have access to good education and thus better future opportunities.

Our approach, then as now

Projekte weltweit

We stand up for disadvantaged children and their right to education and thus promote peaceful coexistence. As a member, you help maintain the following areas:

Intercultural exchange

More than 2000 children and young people travel to Trogen in Appenzell every year. They come from Switzerland or come from different European countries. In workshops, the young people from different backgrounds get to know each other in a playful way. Prejudices are soon replaced by mutual interest and appreciation.

More about intercultural exchange

powerup_radio

The children's village has its own radio studio. Young people design their specific program on previously discussed topics. This allows them to consolidate the knowledge they gained during the project week. The mobile radio bus visits school classes throughout Switzerland.

Preservation of the children's village

If the houses could tell. Over the decades, they have offered thousands of children a cozy home for longer or shorter periods of time. The buildings are now getting on in years – their preservation and structural renovations require new investments.
