Questions & Answers
+ Where will my donation go?
We advocate a multisectoral approach that not only solves the current problems, but also tackles the causes of poverty in a long-term and sustainable manner. With your donation we implement vital projects in the areas of water + hygiene, health + nutrition, education + children’s rights as well as for the economic development of a region. For example, we provide clean water, healthy nutrition and health care, school materials and teacher training. But we also promote sustainable agriculture and support people setting up in business.
+ What effect will my donation have?
Through the regular reports from the sponsorship projects or the updates from the disaster areas, you, as a donor of World Vision Switzerland, can see concretely what your donation will achieve. Our effectiveness report and the annual reports provide additional transparency regarding the use of donations.
