Our actions in Switzerland
Orange sales, sponsored walks, Children’s Rights Day, musical action - our voluntary groups organise many events that encourage the public to help children in need and to support Terre des hommes' work. The choice is yours!
Our street campaigns in Switzerland
Our 2,000 volunteers organise and implement events to raise money for vulnerable children, with the help of a team from our head office. From Lugano to Lausanne and Basel to Chur, they organise more than one hundred events each year, grouped into four main categories:
Orange Sale
Can we motivate you to join in the largest Swiss humanitarian street campaign?
Sport activities
Throughout the year, Terre des hommes volunteers organize sport activities.
Child Rights Day
For almost 20 years Terre des hommes has organised street activities for raising people’s awareness of child rights.
