Qantara association is a Swiss association based in Geneva. Qantara (قنطرة) is an Arabic word that means bridge, or arch.
Qantara’s main objective is to create bridges between North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the Middle East, Switzerland and other European countries through arts and culture, creativity and sports projects aimed at youth, with the intention of making them stronger, happier and more resilient change makers, contributing to dialogue and peace in their communities, and to their social and economic development.
We would like to foster cooperation and collaboration among youth communities, adopting a truly transversal approach, in terms of both projects of geography. Youth in Hargeisa would for example exchange with youth in Beirut or Casablanca, who will own and adapt their projects.
Whether it's a one-time donation or a recurring contribution, every amount helps us reach more people.
We invests in sustainable community development projects to create positive change.

In times of crisis or in difficult circumstances children and youth are often the ones that suffer most; even when their vital needs of nourishment, shelter and education can be met, other fundamental aspects of their personal development may be at risk. Yet they play a pivotal role in any community’s future.
To ensure there is hope through and for future generations, even in the most challenging circumstances, efforts should be made to provide them with the tools necessary to develop their inner strength and capability to adapt, evolve and participate actively in building their future societies.
