Our Approach

Psychological stress can take various forms: from difficulties at school and family quarrels to fears about the future and the consequences of war.

These issues can have a profound impact on children and young people, leaving long-term scars. Our carefully selected projects provide support and opportunity, both in Switzerland and internationally.

Your donation supports our two projects:

Amna
Providing local support for children from war zones around the world

Amna is dedicated to supporting refugee and displaced children and their families, helping them begin to heal from trauma. Working hand-in-hand with local organizations, Amna creates safe spaces where children can express themselves—through painting, play, learning, and other forms of support. These activities are more than just moments of joy; they are powerful tools that help children process their experiences and grow in a healthy, hopeful way.

Pro Mente Sana Foundation
Raising awareness and empowering young people in Switzerland

The foundation is committed to strengthening mental health by providing information and counseling services.

Through the “ensa – Mental Health First Aid” program, it equips young people—and those around them—with the tools to face the challenges of adolescence and life with resilience.

Following successful payment, you will automatically receive a donation confirmation for your tax declaration.

All donations up to a total of CHF 500,000 will be matched by UBS, UBS Foundations and other partners.

The final decision regarding the allocation of donations and the organization of the featured projects is at the sole discretion of UBS Optimus Foundation.
