Project promotion that makes a difference!

 

As an internationally recognised non-profit organisation, Green Cross realises projects with the aim of overcoming consequential damages caused by industrial and military disasters, pressing ahead with the clean-up of contaminated sites from the period of the Cold War, and supporting families – especially affected children – in coping with the health problems and heavy social burdens of their living situations.

 

Current priority projects:

 

- Therapy camps for children affected by the Chernobyl disaster.

- Orthopaedic projects for young victims in Vietnam (Agent Orange)

- Water – Life – Peace, a programme in Kyrgyzstan with the aim of better protecting people in Mailuu-Suu, Sumsar-Schekaftar and Aidarken from radioactively contaminated water and foodstuffs. Uranium was mined in this region during the period of the Soviet Union.

 

Green Cross Switzerland is ZEWO certified. You can find the published Green Cross Annual Report here. We shall be happy to answer any questions you may have concerning Green Cross or the projects that you can support.

Green Cross Events – Don’t Forget

 

The “Green Cross Events – Don’t Forget” campaign has been designed and managed by event agency Zeitpol in cooperation with Green Cross Switzerland.

 

Today’s generation of young people no longer has any personal memories of military and industrial catastrophes such as Chernobyl or the Cold War. The Green Cross Events aim to remind the public of past events like these.

 

A total of four events with the theme “Don’t forget” will take place in 2010 and 2011. Their aim is not only to raise awareness for the long-term consequences of military and industrial catastrophes but also to stage celebrations with live music and typical meals and drinks. The proceeds from the events will be directly invested in the projects of Green Cross Switzerland.

On 26 April 2010, Ukrainian band Haydamaky performed in protective gear at Hirschenplatz in Zürich to raise awareness for the 24th anniversary of the reactor catastrophe in Chernobyl.
