Kinderdorf Pestalozzi
Kinderdorf Pestalozzi, literally ''Pestalozzi Children’s Village'', was named after the Swiss education pioneer Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi. Established in 1945, Stiftung Kinderdorf Pestalozzi provides the ''Kinderdorf'' village for war-affected children from allover the world.
== History and objectives ==
In August 1944 Walter Robert Corti, Marie Meienhofer and other enthusiasts launched in the monthly magazine "Du" to call for the foundation of a village for war-affected children. The association ''Vereinigung Kinderdorf Pestalozzi'' was founded in 1945, on 28 April 1946 the foundation stone was laid in the municipality of Trogen in the Canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden. The locals were very positive about the project. With the assistance of voluntary helpers from all over Europe, 15 houses were built that served war orphans from the surrounding countries as a refuge.〔 In the same year children from war-torn countries settled the first houses. In 1950 the association was transformed into a foundation. From 1960, in addition to European children, war orphans from Tibet lived at the orphanage, later mostly children from Korea, Tunisia, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Lebanon, since 1983 also orphans from Switzerland. The length of stay varies from a few weeks (educational or recreational reasons) up to several years. Since 1982 the foundation is also active in countries of the Southern Hemisphere, and since 1990 supervised children's homes in Romania. The fundraising is carried out mainly through fundraisers, sponsorships and legacies: In the 2000s the Foundation has invested CHF 18 million annually into the fields of integration, intercultural exchange and development cooperation. As of 2012, the projects of the foundation benefited 321,000 children and adolescents in Switzerland and abroad.〔
