The ISS

The Swiss Foundation of ISS is the swiss chapter of the International Social Service, which is a network active in over 140 countries.

ISS provides help on a transnational scale to children and families facing social and/or legal problems. Ever since the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was signed it has been one of our main goals to translate the spirit of the UNCRC into concrete support for children living in difficult conditions far away from their country of origin.

The International Social Service Network (ISS) links up national social service organizations with the aim of helping children and their families living in one country, or scattered over several countries, to resolve the social and/or legal problems they are confronted with.
