Welcome to Kinderbaum (children's tree), a Swiss non-profit-foundation supported by the international world of art. This innovative foundation strives to help disadvantaged children throughout the world by constructing orphanages. Kinderbaum offers its services to all children of the world regardless of their culture or religion. Furthermore, it is very important to the founder that the staff should be ethnically and religiously diverse. The children will therefore be taught not only to respect but also to tolerate the wide range of differences inherent amongst human beings throughout the world.
Here you can find a description of the Foundation's aim and its complete statutes in English, German and Italian:
1.3 The Foundation is a charitable foundation and may within the range of the legally and morally permissible actions exercise any appropriate activity with end of fulfilling the Foundation's purpose as outlined under 1.4.; it may organize fundraising drives in particular and operate commercially, whereby the profits will at all times be ploughed back exclusively into the Foundation.
