The lifevest foundation aims to improve the living conditions of economically or otherwise disadvantaged people, as well as those affected by poverty. A particular focus is on long-term and sustainable aid projects that combat poverty and social injustice and target people with special needs. The foundation can carry out its own projects or support projects of third parties. Support can be provided through one-time or regular financial contributions or through free consulting services. Support is provided regardless of the ethnic origin, religion, nationality, and gender of the people in need. This purpose can be pursued both in Switzerland and abroad.
