The fires in Australia in 2019 and 2020 forced more than a quarter of a million people from their homes and killed more than half a billion animals. The Foundation’s support for the Australian Red Cross helped provide food, water and relief items, as well as psychological first aid to reduce trauma and distress.
Following the 2018 earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia, which killed more than 4,300 people, the Swarovski Foundation supported the Red Cross in their relief efforts – helping to build shelters and provide medical treatment for others affect by the crisis.
