Swiss Solidarity turns 75 - nearly two billion francs donated thanks to extraordinary Swiss generosity
75 years ago, on 26 September 1946, Radio Sottens (today the Swiss National Radio) in Lausanne broadcasted its first episode of the now infamous programme "Chaîne du Bonheur" (Swiss Solidarity). Thanks to the astounding solidarity of the Swiss people, donations of almost 2 billion Swiss francs have since been used to finance 5,097 projects in Switzerland and abroad.
