Children from Chornobyl

Recuperative stays in Switzerland for children from regions affected by radioactive contamination.

From 1991 to 2022, the project enabled children from regions affected by radiation to spend time recuperating in Switzerland. Each stay lasted one to three months.

The project focused on the children and the opportunity to rest for a time away from the affected regions. The surviving archive photographs offer glimpses of this earlier stage of the work.
