2024 Help2Help program

The Help2Help program aims at supporting initiatives of general interest carried out by associations in which BNP Paribas in Switzerland employees are actively involved.

Since its launch in 2004, more than 100 projects have been financed, represented by employees from all business lines and functions. The associations are selected by the Foundation’s Board considering the local impact and the BNP Paribas staff members personal involvement.

For the 2024 campaign, three projects have been selected and will in total receive 16 000 CHF from the Foundation:

Ein Haus für Kinder

Switzerland is experiencing a growing demand in support for families with children facing severe chronic illnesses or disabilities. For two decades, Ein Haus für Kinder has been a pillar for those families. The association proposes inpatient or Day Care Service and socio-pedagogical family support. The Help2Help funding will help to finance an elevator in order to improve the accessibility in the house for disabled children.

HOPE Suisse

HOPE supports women affected by cancer from the announcement of the diagnosis through post-treatment, helping them overcome the ordeal through equine therapy and various forms of artistic expression (painting, dancing, etc.). The Help2Help grant represents the budget for 12 participants that will benefit from 3 discovery days in Geneva including the therapists, the rental of the horses and stables, lunch, and various activities such as painting.

Le Bistro

The association participates in the social and professional rehabilitation of people with psychological disorders or suffering from social problems. The non-profit organization developed an inclusive restaurant, offering reintegration places and low-cost catering accessible to all. The funds of the Help2Help program will enable the renewal of equipment and the offering of one-off cultural or social events within the organization.
