Single-parent families

Holiday aid for single parents

Single mothers and fathers do not only have to cope with an extremely demanding everyday life, they are also exposed to a higher poverty risk. For financial reasons, holidays are often out of the question for single-parent families. Thanks to holiday support they can go on holiday for CHF 200. On top of this, we provide single parents with special offers thanks to the “Mum plus!” and “Dads&Kids Weeks” in the summer and autumn holidays.
