More donations, a significant surplus, and key projects: NAK-Humanitas looks back on a successful 2025 and looks into the future with a solid foundation.
The Swiss aid agency NAK-Humanitas is primarily dedicated to providing humanitarian aid. It makes no difference whether or which denomination one belongs to, or from which part of the world one comes—the foundation provides aid whenever and wherever it is needed.
The foreword to the 2025 Annual Report emphasises that a fundamental aim is to tackle hidden hardship: to empower people directly affected by poverty and social exclusion, so that they can find the courage to shape their own lives independently.
For many years, one specific focus of the organisation’s work has been on supporting children from socially disadvantaged families in Romania and Moldova. Last year marked an important milestone.
A strong willingness to donate
According to the 2025 annual report, NAK-Humanitas’s current income, at just under 2.1 million Swiss francs, is 36.5 per cent higher than in the previous year. This is attributable to two large donations. Donations for specific projects totalled almost 110,000 Swiss francs, including support for Ukraine and Asia, as well as sponsorship programmes. Non-restricted donations totalled around 2 million Swiss francs. The latter represents an increase of around 39 per cent compared with the previous year. The foundation also benefited from a bequest of nearly 24,000 francs.
Income from investments and rental properties contributed a further CHF 220,000. This means that the aid organisation generated total income of CHF 2.3 million in 2025.
Surplus and project initiatives worldwide
Just over CH 740,000 went to charitable and social projects in Switzerland. This included CH 71,000 to the Swiss Red Cross, Canton of Aargau, for the project Aarau Support Grant for the Aarau Day Centre. The Blatten Foundation received CHF 30,000 in emergency and immediate relief aid to support people affected by the natural disaster on 28 May 2025. The Johanneum received CHF 30,000 to support its Domino New Building and Therapeutic Garden project. The Johanneum provides education, vocational training, employment, and residential services for people with intellectual disabilities or learning difficulties.
The organisation’s charitable work abroad is concentrated mainly in the countries served by the New Apostolic Church Switzerland. More than CHF 950,000 supported international projects, with a strong focus on emergency relief and post-disaster reconstruction around the world. One of the key projects is the daycare centre of the BNA-Humanitas Foundation, Chişinau located in Răzeni, Moldova. Its operations were fully funded by NAK-Humanitas with nearly CHF 200,000. Another key project was the daycare centre of the BNA-Humanitas Foundation in Zăbrani, Romania, which officially opened during the year and received more than CHF 170,000 in funding from NAK-Humanitas. The organisation “MUT – Mitmachen und Teilen e. V., Schwäbisch Hall” received a grant of nearly CHF 35,000 to expand the medical station in the rural region of Tschébébé in Togo.
Expenditure on staff, travel, meals, and accommodation costs for the various projects amounted to just over 100,000 Swiss francs. Administrative expenses at NAK-Humanitas amounted to more than CHF 110,000, including staff, office, and administrative costs.
As expenditure in 2025, at just under CHF 2 million, was lower than income, a surplus of just over 400,000 Swiss francs was generated and added to the rainy day fund. Reserves stood at around 5.8 million Swiss francs on 31 December 2025.
