EDUCA SWISS’ Impact and Vision
Due to gaps in education funding, every year more than 10,000 people in Switzerland are denied the education or vocational training they seek. They lack money because they do not receive sufficient financial support from employers, family and scholarships.
EDUCA SWISS is a non-profit foundation that coaches precisely these individuals, free of charge, draws up a realistic budget with them, and helps find low-interest student loans for their vocational training. Our candidates also achieve a significantly higher graduation rate than the Swiss average. With your support, we can create opportunities!
