Finances and transparency

We are transparent. That is why we provide comprehensive information about our finances, adhere to strict accounting standards and have our organization certified.

Key figures

Sustainably and solidly financed.

A positive trend in donations and our high level of spending awareness mean that all our aid projects and our organization are solidly financed in the long term - and that we can channel above-average amounts of money into our project work.

45,378,723 francs Donations received since 2006

Our donation income has developed positively during this time, which we see as a sign of our impact-oriented work.

74% of the donated amount goes to projects

We thus fulfill the requirements of the ZEWO seal of approval, which sets high standards for the transparent use of funds.

3,359,684 francs Donation volume in 2023

Our operating income is made up of countless private donations and contributions from foundations and the public sector.

ISO 9001:2015 audit report (2024)

"Innovations are approached consciously. The example of rebranding emphasizes innovation on the one hand and the courage to make long-term decisions and take risks on the other."

Governance

Certainly transparent.

Earmarking

We use donations in accordance with the stated purpose of the donation. This earmarking gives you the certainty that your money will be used exactly as you wish.

Accounting

Our accounts are prepared in accordance with the recognized Swiss GAAP FER 21 standard and are audited externally by means of a limited audit.

Statutes

The purpose of our association is clearly defined in our statutes. This gives donors the certainty that we do exactly what we communicate - and that donations have the maximum impact. You can download our statutes here

 

Certifications

Certifications attest to the transparency of the use of funds and communication (ZEWO seal of approval) and the quality of our processes (ISO standard). Ongoing re-certifications give you the assurance that it will stay that way.
