Hi, our names are Laetitia and Clémence: we live in Geneva, Switzerland - we are both passionate about mountaineering and social impact; we are the co-founders of Peaks4All, a recognized public-interest Swiss-based nonprofit since 2021.
Peaks4All aims to support the integration of the refugees in Switzerland through mountaineering sports. Sports and physical activity are proven to be a powerful tool for inclusion, human connections, post-traumatic stress relief and promoting good health. (resource e.g.: UNHCR) It is also an excellent way to learn French, ultimately increasing their chances of getting a job and starting a new thriving life in Switzerland.
1. We strongly believe that involving our beneficiaries in regular sports & training activities we will be able to :
- Help them overcome the stress related to their refugees status
- Allow them to feel better, mentally and physically and earn real trust
2. We strongly believe that sport is a strong catalyst for social integration. Through our program, we will create numerous connections :
- Amongst the refugees community, creating a helping family spirit
- With the Swiss people : volunteers, guides and friends of the association
- With the Swiss culture, building a deep understanding of it and increasing their chances to get a job and learn French faster
So, what do we actually do ?
Peaks4All organizes regular activities, on a bi-weekly basis. (hiking, climbing, snowshoeing, running, alpinism, etc.)
One of our most ambitious goal was reached last 13th-14th of August: we were the first group of 6 refugees to climb the Bishorn, a Swiss 4'000m summit in Valais area. We got the support from 2 mountaineering professional volunteers, and Ermewa Group was our main financial support. We continuously seek donations in order to propose more diverse and inclusive activities to the refugees.
