Wohn Und Werkheim Schmetterling

What Wohn Und Werkheim Schmetterling does

Wohn- und Werkheim Schmetterling is a Swiss non-profit association (Verein) founded in 1986 and headquartered at Seeblick 2, 6330 Cham, Canton of Zug. The organization provides residential and day-structure services for adults with intellectual and multiple disabilities, operating two residential groups (Wohngruppen) and atelier-based day places (Tagesstruktur ohne Lohn). It is licensed under the Swiss IVSE (Interkantonale Vereinbarung für soziale Einrichtungen) framework and is subject to regular cantonal supervision, with ISO 9001:2015, IQNet, and SQS quality certifications in place.

The organization monetizes primarily through cantonal government funding tied to the IVSE framework, supplemented by direct retail revenue from the publicly accessible "hier mit dir" shop at Seeblick 1 in Cham (selling homemade ice cream and other products) and donations. Its go-to-market is community-led, with admissions coordinated through cantonal social services referrals and disability network partnerships (ARTISET, INSOS, Pro Infirmis, Insieme Schweiz, Stiftung Cerebral). Day activities are provided without wages, consistent with the institution's person-centered care philosophy. Revenue, headcount beyond the disclosed 8 core staff, and financial details are not publicly disclosed.

The operating model is relationship-driven rather than technology-driven. The website uses standard web technologies (Google Fonts, reCAPTCHA, Meta Pixel, Google Maps, YouTube); no proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, app, or API is disclosed. Strategic positioning differentiates on 40 years of specialized experience, a Barrett Values Centre culture score of 81 points (exceeding industry and global averages), and community integration through the "hier mit dir" sub-brand. The Managing Director is Markus Einsiedler. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or M&A activity are present.
