Donation as a gift

Are you still looking for a special gift for your loved ones? If you give away a donation certificate or Usthi greeting cards, you will not only make the recipient happy, but also offer young people a perspective.

Treat a loved one with a contribution for the children and young people in the Usthi projects. The presentee will receive a gift certificate and young people will be provided with access to education, healthcare and protection from human trafficking – and thus a perspective for a dignified future. The amount can be freely chosen.

Whether you like to send greeting cards yourself or to delight a person in your environment who loves to write – with the Usthi card collection you will treat your loved ones and empower young people at the same time. For 15 francs you will receive a set with 5 motifs. All pictures were taken during project visits.

If you would like to make an online donation, please let us know in the message field under which name and on what occasion the donation certificate should be issued. You can select the postcard set as the purpose of your donation.

If you prefer to pay in the traditional way by payment slip or bank transfer, please do not hesitate to contact us by e-mail or phone (+41 55 511 21 25). We would be happy to send the gift to the address of your choice.
