Kinderschutz Schweiz

What Kinderschutz Schweiz does

Kinderschutz Schweiz (legal name: Stiftung Kinderschutz Schweiz) is an independent private-law non-profit foundation founded in 1982 and headquartered at Schlösslistrasse 9a, 3008 Bern, Switzerland. The organization operates nationwide (gesamtschweizerisch tätig) with a trilingual DE/FR/IT presence and a staff of approximately 35 employees, delivering child protection, violence prevention, and parenting support services under a mandate aligned with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Its core offerings span four program areas: a national reporting platform against online pedocriminality (clickandstop.ch); parenting and family education, notably the "Starke Eltern – Starke Kinder" (Strong Parents – Strong Children) course reaching roughly 3,000 participants annually; school- and pedagogy-based prevention programs such as "Mein Körper gehört mir!" (My Body is Mine!) and the CompAct card set, collectively reaching 60,000+ children per year; and Schutzkonzepte (Kindesschutz-Policy) consulting services for organizations that work with children. Supporting infrastructure includes age-segmented educational resources (0–6, 7–11, 12–18), an e-commerce shop for downloadable materials and publications, and political/legislative advocacy work.

The foundation is funded through a diversified mix of individual and institutional donations, course fees, and sales of educational materials and publications. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based. Its go-to-market is event-driven and advocacy-led, combining national conferences (e.g., the 2026 expert conference on sexualized violence), media campaigns (e.g., "Play Safe"), volunteer ambassadors, social media, newsletters, and direct legislative engagement. There is no disclosed venture, PE, or institutional equity investment; the foundation owns its assets and intellectual property outright.
