Hi. I see everyone being very worried about the Covid19 situation. I would like to ask you to consider donating to charities specifically supporting the poor in Switzerland and abroad to get through these times, with financial help, hygiene equipment, or many other needed things.

ZEWO made a list of charities fulfilling their criteria active in the COVID crisis. ZEWO is a meta-charity that certifies charities fulfilling 21 criteria, such as impact, efficiency and good governance. You can learn more about the certification here. You can find a list of charities fulfilling the criteria of ZEWO active in the Covid crisis here: [German link] - [French link] - unfortunately there is no list in English.

Since the list can be a bit confusing, and is not available in English, I made an overview of the bigger charities in Switzerland:

Please consider donating if you can. Many people are suffering economically right now, or do not have access to hygiene gear. Your donation enables those effective charitites.

Feel free to comment in this thread highlighting the charity you support, and what they do.
