2021 was a challenging year for Green Cross Switzerland. Although projects had to be adapted to the needs of the pandemic, our medical, social, and psychological programs for victims of military and industrial disasters could continue to be pursued with dedication. Additionally, in regions of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus we’ve initiated pilot projects to promote sustainable energy sources (e.g. solar panels). Due to COVID-related restrictions, only a portion of projects in Vietnam could be carried out. 

“After a financially good year, we are looking at the year 2022 with confidence. The year will undoubtedly bring new and great challenges for Green Cross,” says Martin Bäumle, CEO. “Our team is doing its best to support people in Ukraine by providing humanitarian aid, and will also ensure to help with the reconstruction process in the future”. 

“It was heartening to experience our donors’ solidarity in these unfamiliar and uncertain times. We are very thankful for their support”, says Béatrice Lombard-Martin, President of the Board of Trustees

Spring is generally defined as the season of change. Harsh winter is finally behind us, days are getting longer, nature awakens and gives us new energy and lightness. In harmony with nature, we at Green Cross Switzerland also took advantage of the seasonal change to “transform” ourselves – and we started by redesigning our website.

This is the first step of a larger project that aims to broaden digitalisation of our communication processes and achieve immediate and efficient exchange with our donor family. The bright and modern design uses our traditional colors (green and white) and the information is clearly structured. We have also introduced innovative donation methods, including TWINT, credit cards, SMS and the option to create personalized payment slips.

The launch of the new website and the introduction of modern fundraising-tools coincide with the launch of our blog and social media channels. Through regular updates, we want to inform you about our projects and news. Above all, we want to introduce the people involved and tell their stories; only then will you truly realise how important your contribution is.

So, welcome to our new website and…enjoy the read!
