Hi all,
Im looking into organising a few charity events this year and for that I would like to find a good cause. Can anyone recommend a charity in Geneva, ideally one that involves kids?
Thanks so much,
Lais

Hi Lais,what a wonderful idea! There is a great internet platform called www.fengarion.org. There you can sort the charity projects by topic, for example, thinking of children, you may look into education, health etc. The great thing about this platform is that you can choose a project that needs funding, and then either donate directly to that project (100% of the donation is guaranteed to go to the project, not to cover over-head spend); or you can also organize your own charity event via the platform, invite friends etc ....

My Thaï friend (for exemple) goes directly to a Thaï orphanage to visit the kids, staff and management in person, sees how they live, how they are taken care off in real, and then gives the orphanage money directly. Instead. Of choosing worldwide known charities where approx 90% of the fundings goes into paying the staff wages and used other ways than for those who need it most :).
This is just an idea ;).
Good idea from you - good luck!

Is there any particular cause that speaks to you, re: kids?
Children's Cancer Research Fund of Switzerland, is a great one to support.

This one ain't Geneva-based, but it's in the area. They're at La Roche-sur-Foron.
