The Reka Foundation for Holiday Aid

Making holiday dreams come true for everyone

Solidarity with needy families is not only wishful thinking, but should really be part of our lives. We are committed to achieving this.

Why we are needed

When living conditions are precarious for families with young children, holidays are often just a dream. We want to change this. For over eighty years now, we have been standing up for the weaker sections of our society: we enable needy families to take a break from their daily routine.

On the contrary, I simply try to lead a normal family life.”

Otherwise we couldn’t afford holidays.” The Wenger family includes the parents and their eleven children. The youngest is 6 and the oldest 26.

Carefree days for children with autism

A week at a holiday camp in Switzerland: for many children this would naturally be part of their holiday experience. But for girls and boys with autism it’s a different story. Their dream of spending a whole week playing with other children is all too often unfulfilled. They are unable to properly process the many new sensations, hectic hustle and bustle and unexpected changes so often encountered in a holiday camp situation. This is why the ‘autismus deutsche schweiz’ association organizes holiday camps for children with autism in an environment adapted to their needs and where the Reka Foundation for Holiday Aid makes a significant contribution.
