Vontobel has a long-standing relationship with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and has collaborated on an annual fundraising initiative for the past six years. This year's initiative is contributing to the "Restoring Family Links" program.
Hear directly from ICRC President, Dr. Peter Maurer, about the organization's mission, "Restoring Family Links” program, and partnership with Vontobel:
For 150 years, the ICRC’s Restoring Family Links program has been bringing together families who have been forcibly separated or who have lost one another, whether as a result of military conflicts, natural disasters, expulsion, or migration.
Currently, about 140,000 missing persons cases are unsolved. In 2019, the ICRC reunited 10,000 family members - but 25,000 new cases were added during the same period. We are hopeful that our donation and fundraising efforts can help bring more families together.
