Donations in Switzerland – Making a Difference Together

Those who donate to people in need show solidarity with those elsewhere in the world who live with insecurity, hunger, or poverty. Whether it’s a one-time donation or regular support, what matters most is that the aid reaches its destination. ena ensures this with care, experience, and a keen eye for what truly matters. Donations from Switzerland bring hope. They enable concrete aid in acute crises, create educational opportunities, and improve healthcare. Every contribution means one less person is alone.

The significant impact of your donations from Switzerland

One franc a day may not seem like much. But when added up, it changes lives. In 2023, people in Switzerland donated over two billion francs. It’s not the amount that matters, but the spirit in which the donation is made.

ena allocates these funds where they are needed most: in the aftermath of natural disasters, in the education sector, or to help secure people’s livelihoods. As a donor, you can decide for yourself how you’d like to contribute—whether through a one-time donation, regular contributions, or by supporting a specific cause.

Ways to donate in Switzerland

Set up a recurring donation

  • One-time donation or recurring donation

    Choose what works best for your situation. Even small amounts, given regularly, can make a big difference.

  • Social Impact Fund

    Support effective aid where it is urgently needed right now. Donations to the Social Impact Fund allow us to allocate funds with the greatest flexibility—and therefore with the greatest success. This way, you can make a meaningful donation and be confident that it will reach those who need it most.

  • Thematic funds

    Decide for yourself whether you would like to support educational projects, healthcare, peacebuilding, or the creation of livelihoods.

  • Country funds

    Your donation can be directed to a specific country. For example, Malawi, Bangladesh, or Peru.

  • Emergency relief fund

    This fund enables rapid assistance in disaster situations, including in regions that receive little public attention.

Thematic Funds from ena

Make a targeted donation from Switzerland

With a thematic fund, you decide which area your donations from Switzerland will support.
Through the Education Fund, you support school projects, vocational training, and child-friendly learning environments. This enables, for example, orphans in Zambia to receive a free education.
The Health Fund supports basic medical care and hygiene training. Especially in countries like Uganda, Bangladesh, and South Sudan, we support efforts to provide clean drinking water, hygiene education, and the construction of sanitation facilities.
The Livelihoods Fund is also crucial. It enables climate-resilient agriculture, access to clean water, and the promotion of small-scale income-generating activities. The Peace Fund, on the other hand, focuses on supporting people in conflict regions and building stability, such as in South Sudan.

Country funds

Your donations from Switzerland support regional aid

Not all aid needs to be broad in scope. Perhaps a particular country is close to your heart. In Malawi, we promote local food security. In Uganda, we support families affected by flooding. In Peru, the focus is primarily on integration and education in rural areas.
Country funds make it possible to address local needs in a targeted manner while respecting their specific characteristics. Our partners understand the challenges intimately and design projects in collaboration with the people affected. This way, you can be sure that your donations from Switzerland reach the right places and are put to good use.
