Earthquake in South-East Asia
On 28 March 2025, a violent earthquake measuring 7.7 on the Richter scale struck several regions of Southeast Asia. Myanmar has been particularly affected. Millions of people lost their homes and are in desperate need of food, water and medical care. In view of the scale of the disaster, Swiss Solidarity immediately launched an appeal for donations to help those affected as quickly as possible.

We turn your donations into aid
For over 75 years, the Swiss Solidarity Foundation (SwS) has embodied the solidarity of the people of Switzerland. In partnership with the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation SRG SSR and private media organisations, SwS alerts the public and organises appeals for donations for victims of natural disasters and conflicts, child relief and vulnerable people in Switzerland. Internationally, SwS supports the humanitarian projects of its 28 partner NGOs. In Switzerland, SwS works with various local organisations to bridge gaps in the Swiss social welfare system. SwS functions independently, responsibly and transparently, monitoring projects and seeing to the judicious use of donations. Since 1946, Swiss Solidarity has raised over two billion Swiss francs.
