The Human Safety Net Switzerland

Our foundation for families and refugees

Our mission

We believe that no one should be held back from reaching their potential. The Human Safety Net’s mission is to unlock the potential of people living in vulnerable circumstances, so that they can transform the lives of their families and communities. Our programmes support vulnerable families with young children (0–-6 years) and integrate refugees through work and entrepreneurship.

What is The Human Safety Net?
