Volunteering
Volunteering: the heart of our commitment
La Caravane Sans Frontières is an independent Swiss association, run entirely by volunteers, where civic engagement drives every one of its actions.
Our Vision
A commitment
that is entirely voluntary
Since its founding, La Caravane Sans Frontières has relied entirely on volunteer commitment. Board members, project leads and volunteers all freely give their time, skills and energy in the service of others.
No board member receives any pay. Our organization is built entirely on volunteering, trust and shared responsibility.
This philosophy allows us to devote the maximum of our resources to the people we support and the humanitarian projects we develop.

Our History
Born from civic engagement
La Caravane Sans Frontières was born from a group of citizens convinced that a helping hand can change a life. To this day, it is these volunteer hands that carry each of our projects forward.
Every convoy, every home opened, every meal shared is proof that local, collective action, free of bureaucratic red tape, has an immense power to transform lives.

“We believe that an association's greatest wealth lies not in its financial resources, but in the generosity of those who bring it to life.”
Our greatest wealth is not our budget. Our greatest wealth is our volunteers.
