The children's welfare is our care

Donate now Become a sponsor

Children’s Care Emmaus supports needy people all over the world. Our motto is: «Help the most needy first». Independently from gender, belief and ethnicity we support destitute children with personal sponsorships, vulnerable families with help for self-help and backward communities with sustainable development cooperation projects.

Together we create a fairer world.


A future for children

 With but CHF 50.00 a month you will become a godmother or a godfather of a destitute child. Thanks to you it will receive all it needs: Clothing, nourishment, schooling and training.

I leave the choice of my godchild to Children’s Care Emmaus.
