SWITZERLAND FOR UNHCR, OUR CHARITY PARTNER

RUN - SWIM - BIKE WITH REFUGEES

The devastating bombings in Lebanon, the war in Ukraine and other less publicised conflicts in Afghanistan, Sudan and Syria destroy many lives every day. Currently, worldwide, 120 million people have been forced to flee their homes to find peace and security - more than 13 times the population of Switzerland. This is a number that should never have been reached.

La Tour Geneva Triathlon and UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, have joined forces since 2019 to help people forced to flee their home. Since 1950, UNHCR has saved millions of lives and helped rebuild a future for refugees around the world. UNHCR works to ensure that everybody has the right to seek asylum and find safety having fled violence, persecution, war, or disaster.

Today, let’s stand with refugees, wherever they come from. We invite you to run, swim and bike in the La Tour Geneva Triathlon and make a donation through Switzerland for UNHCR website here or when you register.

TOGETHER, WE CAN HAVE AN IMPACT

A small contribution can already make a big difference and help a refugee family find a safe place to call home and build a better future.
