Education is the best chance for a better life.

Who are we?

kidz planet is a small, privately initiated Swiss charity organisation. Since the founding members feel a strong connection to India and therefore know the local needs, they decided to start their commitment there.

How do we help?

We run our own school – the kidz planet Learning Centre near Kolkata in India. Local teachers teach all ages from kindergarten to fifth grade. We currently teach 237 children. Afterwards, they are transfered to the secondary school. Our administrative costs are less than 5%.

Whom do we help?

The topic of education is particularly close to our hearts. We provide children and young people in need with primary school education in one of the poorest regions of India, near Calcutta.

The 9th Real Estate Ball took place on October 26, bringing together numerous guests, sponsors and supporters in a festive atmosphere. The event not only offered a platform for inspiring conversations and culinary delights, but also rousing music from our surprise guest Kennie Simon from Hot Chocolate.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of those in attendance, we were able to raise an impressive CHF 81,000 to benefit the children of kidz planet. This sum will help to improve the lives of young people and open up new perspectives for them.

We are already looking forward to the 10th Real Estate Ball, which will take place on October 25, 2025. Table reservations are now open.

Together we are shaping a better future for the children of Kolkata – thank you for being part of this important mission!

We are pleased to introduce the new Library Exchange Program, which aims to provide children at our public partner schools with access to books. As part of this program, we are setting up libraries that will be supervised by two to three employees over a period of five years.

We use playful methods such as reading aloud, painting and singing to introduce the children, who often have little experience with books, to the world of literature. These creative activities not only promote reading skills, but also the joy of reading.

In the first year, 1,057 children at 9 schools have already successfully participated in this program. We look forward to introducing many more children to the treasures of literature and awakening their enthusiasm for books.

In order to provide ongoing support to the 147 children who have already gone through our Kidz Planet Learning Center, we have created the Community Learning Center. This program is critical to helping students successfully continue their academic careers through 10th grade in public schools.

Since private tutoring is financially unaffordable for many families, we offer free tutoring. Our aim is to provide this supportive tuition to up to 500 children per year – both at our school and at partner schools – within five years. Already in the first year, 29 children benefit from our tutoring program and receive the help they need to overcome their academic challenges and secure a promising future.

Hard to believe, but our school has already turned 10 years old on 30 March 2023. Heinz Schweder from the Board of Directors travelled to Kolkata to celebrate with the students and teachers.
