Associations

  • Working in partnership: Rotary International

    The Rotary Club of Switzerland and Liechtenstein has been an ICRC partner since 1996. The objective of the Rotary's Mine-Ex foundation was to raise funds for the ICRC rehabilitation centre in Cambodia. Then they did the same in Myanmar, Ethiopia and in south-western Algeria, providing landmine victims with artificial limbs and rehabilitation services. Since 2009, the Mine-Ex Foundation has also been supporting the ICRC's work with landmine victims in Afghanistan.


  • A partnership with UEFA

    The ICRC launched its partnership with the Union of European Football Associations in 1997. UEFA has been a major supporter of the ICRC over the past 10 years, donating more than eight million Swiss francs and offering the organization various opportunities to promote humanitarian topics. Between 1997 and 2001, UEFA provided funding for numerous ICRC activities throughout the world. Since 2001, the partnership has focused on ICRC activities in UEFA member countries. In addition to its financial contributions, UEFA has given the ICRC various platforms for communicating on humanitarian topics.
