Back in 2014, Flughafen Zurich and Dufry embarked on a joint project under the name of “Charity Water” to raise funds for charitable causes through the sale of bottled water in the airport. For every bottle of mineral water sold at the price of CHF 2.50, which is obtained from the Adello spring in Adelboden, in the Swiss Alps, 50 centimes are donated to a charitable organization.  

During the month of June, Dufry and the Zurich airport handed over a check worth 167,676 CHF to Kinderspital Zurich as part of the cooperation started in September 2019.

Locally known as “Kispi”, Kinderspital Zurich is a non-profit private institution serving all children and adolescents. It is the largest university children’s hospital in Switzerland and one of the leading centers for pediatric and adolescent medicine in Europe. Each year, approximately 2,300 dedicated employees are committed to care for the wellbeing of more than 100,000 young patients, from the first day of life to the age of 18.

New Partner

As of June, Kinderhilfe Sternschnuppe is the new beneficiary of the “Charity Water” project. This Swiss non-profit organisation brings joy and excitement into the lives of children and young people living with an illness or disability. It fulfils the dearest wish of children and gives the whole family the opportunity for exciting excursions and worry-free family activities.
