Facts and Figures
In 2025, the Reka Foundation for Holiday Aid enabled a total of 943 families and single parents facing
socioeconomic challenges, including 2,108 children, to spend a week on holiday at Reka Holiday Villages, Reka holiday homes and Swiss youth hostels. This represents an increase of 8% compared to the previous year. The target of 1,000 family packages was only narrowly missed: firstly, some applications were rejected as they did not meet the participation conditions, and secondly, some beneficiaries cancelled.
In addition, the Foundation gave financial support to homes, foundations and organisations for the purpose of providing holiday camps for children and young people with disabilities. 241 young people benefitted from these initiatives.
In total, the Foundation spent CHF 1.7 million on its beneficiaries during the reporting year – an increase of 8.3% compared to the previous year. Given the current economic uncertainties, it can be assumed that demand will increase further in 2026 – especially from low earners, single parents and large families.
The Foundation ended the 2025 business year with a loss of CHF 150,404. In addition to donations from supporters, contributions from foundations and a legacy, the Foundation received CHF 506,000 from its founder Reka for the further development of its activities. The equity amounted to CHF 4.2 million at the end of the year. The annual financial statements were audited by BDO Ltd, Bern.
As well as operational activities, 2025 also saw the Foundation undergo further strategic development. The 2026–2030 strategy was approved by the executive committee as well as the Reka management, and it serves as the binding basis for the Foundation’s future direction and further development.
The Foundation is planning to provide 1,000 holiday packages for disadvantaged families in 2026. Additional donors will be sought to finance this.
