Association Nouvelle Chance is a Swiss-based non-profit organization committed to providing long-term, tailored, and sustainable support to refugee children. Our mission is to help children rebuild their lives with dignity, joy, and purpose in their new communities.

​

We focus on identifying children in particularly vulnerable situations - many from single-parent or guardian-led families - and respond with carefully designed programs that meet their specific needs. We believe in creating the right support at the right time, whether that means urgent care or long-term development.

​

 Why Support Us?

​

If our mission speaks to you, here’s why Association Nouvelle Chance is a meaningful place to give and get involved:

• Trusted and Transparent
  With a background in audit and project governance, our core team ensures every donation supports carefully selected, high-impact initiatives.

• Tax-Exempt Until 2027
  We are officially tax-exempt in Switzerland, so every franc you give goes directly to the children and causes you intend to support.

• Volunteer-Run
  We operate entirely through volunteer efforts, allowing us to maximize the impact of every donation.

 

 What We've Done

​

In 2022, we launched our first campaign, #BringBackSmiles, providing urgent dental care to refugee children in Poland. By the time the campaign concluded in 2024, 46 children - many of them orphans - received treatment that relieved pain and restored their confidence.

 

Where We Are Now

​

In 2025, we launched #MyPassionMyDreams, a growing initiative designed to support refugee children in continuing their passions—whether in sports, music, dance, art, or other creative fields.

We cover training fees, equipment, camps, and development opportunities for children who show passion, perseverance, and potential. The stories of children like Oleg, a champion swimmer, and Tamriko and Irina, self-taught acrobats, remind us how powerful this kind of support can be.

​

We’re also preparing our first summer camp for 30-40 refugee children, designed to offer emotional support, connection, and moments of joy in a safe and welcoming environment.
