Check Your Chance

 

Founded in 2014, Check Your Chance is the nation’s most significant umbrella organization in the field of youth unemployment. As a private-public partnership, Check Your Chance combines private and public forces. The goal of Check Your Chance is to ensure that as many young people as possible manage to enter the labor market and thus have the chance to lead a self-determined independent life. Together with a total of 14 organizations and their offerings, Check Your Chance cost-effectively and successfully helps young people obtain vocational training and establish themselves in the labor market. Every year, around 7’000 young people are supported in their professional integration. With costs averaging around CHF 3’000 per person, Check Your Chance achieves that over 80% of the young people are not registered as unemployed one year after the end of the support.

Buy Food with Plastic

 

Buy Food with Plastic was founded by 5 students from Zurich as a response to the environmental and political situation, which they encountered in Nicaragua in the summer of 2018. As a consequence of political unrest, the income from tourism declined and many locals lost their jobs, and thus were not able to provide for their families. At the same time the coastlines were littered with plastic waste. The team soon realised that these problems were not unique to Nicaragua and decided to take action.

At BFWP we initiate events worldwide that unite people and provide solutions to urgent local problems, such as environmental pollution, hunger, lack of education and poverty. At the events in Nicaragua, Ghana & India, which are organised by a team of native employees, the local population can buy a warm meal in exchange for 10 plastic bottles. The collected bottles are processed into various products such as household utensils or eco-bricks for buildings. At the same time the locals are sensitised to a more conscious use of plastic. We are hereby devoting ourselves primarily to the United Nations’ development goals 2,4,8,12 and 13. We dream of a world, in which humans use the resources given to them responsibly and live in harmony with nature. Your donations will help professionalise the local BFWP teams in Nicaragua, Ghana and India to ensure a self-sustaining ecosystem.
