More information
Horyzon is a Swiss aid and development organisation for young people. It was founded in 1969 and is based in Olten, SO. Horyzon is part of the international YMCA/YWCA (Young Men/Women Christian Association) and has been working with partners for over 15 years in an interdisciplinary network of aid and development organisations – primarily Swiss aid organisations and donor coordination. We support projects and programs in national and local YMCA/YWCA’S in Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe. We focus on bettering the living conditions of young people and providing education and training in practical areas. Project work centres mainly on vocational training, health education and supporting and ecouraging youths to stand up for their rights. Horyzon has the advantage of working with national and local partners who have lived in the target areas for generations and are aware of the needs of the local population.
