Schlössli Basel – youth home for women

The Schlössli Basel is a socio-educational institution for adolescent women.
The Schlössli Basel is part of the social commitment of the Salvation Army Switzerland foundation. The institution offers living space for 22 female adolescents between the ages of 12 and 23. Our offer is aimed at normally gifted young people with behavioural or integration difficulties.
The services offered by the Schlössli Basel  include both in-patient accommodation for young people and residential support in internal studios or in their own flats.

The Sonnhalde children’s home in Münsingen provides a safe and loving home for 24 children and young people aged between 0 and 18 years.
Our committed team of experienced educational specialists looks after the children and young people all year round and supports them in their daily lives. Often, the children come to us because, for various reasons, they can no longer live in their family structures. At Sonnhalde, we offer them a protected environment in which they can grow emotionally and socially and develop new perspectives for their lives.
