Commitment to Language Integration and Social Participation
Not being linguistically integrated in Switzerland means much more than just having communication difficulties. It often means isolation, dependence and limited opportunities on the labour market and in social life. People who do not speak the national language are dependent on others in everyday life - when visiting the doctor, dealing with the authorities, looking for a job or even when shopping. Exclusion from communication quickly leads to exclusion from society.
​
Our mission
Swiss Wow Now is a non-profit, tax-exempt organisation under Swiss law. We are committed to helping people who have no or only limited access to language integration - for example housewives with a migration background, single parents, older people or people who are dependent on social welfare.
​
Through targeted language support, we enable these people to communicate better, become more independent and actively participate in social life. Language integration is the first step towards greater self-determination, recognition and prospects for the future.

This is our impact
Our programme changes lives:
-
We strengthen self-confidence and independence
-
We reduce social isolation
-
We tap into professional potential and open up perspectives
-
Parents can better advocate for their children
Many participants report that for the first time in Switzerland they feel truly understood and like they belong. This feeling of belonging is priceless - but resources are needed to make it possible in the long term.
How you can help
Our work is only possible thanks to membership fees, targeted funding and, above all, donations. We use surplus funds and donations to finance language courses, learning materials, childcare during lessons and personal support.
Every donation counts. And every donation goes directly to where it is needed - to the people who really need support.
Download our donation form directly from this website, fill it in and send it back to us by e-mail. As a thank you, you will receive a donation certificate, which you can also claim for tax purposes.
Donate as a gift
A donation is also a meaningful and sustainable gift - for a birthday, Christmas or a special occasion, for example. We will be happy to issue you a personalised gift card with the donation amount on request.
Together we enable understanding, integration and opportunities. Swiss Wow Now – because language connects.
