Pillars: Action Fund
In times of crisis, every single effort counts. At the Swarovski Foundation, we firmly believe in the power of collective action to create long-lasting change in the lives of those who have been affected by extreme situations.
Whether it’s a natural disaster or a man-made emergency, we’re committed to providing resources and support to the organizations that fight to bring hope and relief to those who need it most.
Our Action Fund is a testament to this commitment. Through it, the Swarovski Foundation is dedicated to alleviating the suffering of vulnerable communities affected by some of the world’s most urgent crises.
For the past decade, the Swarovski Foundation has been responding to a range of devastating situations, such as helping to provide much-needed support to refugees, displaced persons, and their host communities in Afghanistan, Greece, Iraq, Pakistan, South Sudan, Syria, Türkiye, and Ukraine through grants to UK for UNHCR, for example, over the last 4 years.
In addition, we have extended our support to trusted partners like the British Red Cross, as they worked tirelessly to respond to various emergency situations in Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Yemen, and UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agenda, which focuses on delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person’s potential is fulfilled.
From epidemics, earthquakes, and wildfires to child marriage, racism, and more recently the cost-of-living crisis, our partners have been at the forefront of providing relief to those in need.
Through the Action Fund, we hope to make a powerful statement about our unwavering dedication to making a difference in the world.
With the need for humanitarian assistance and protection at a record high due to conflict, climate change and poverty, and inequalities worsening around the globe, the Swarovski Foundation will continue to take action and collaborate with trusted partners to respond to crises impacting vulnerable communities.
