The Bubbles Project: Fundraising and Global Awareness Through Youth Action

Project Overview (Introduction)
The Bubbles Project, initiated by our founding partner Michelle Muller, is a creative fundraising and awareness initiative launched in 2018. In collaboration with primary schools in Switzerland, children decorate and sell “Magic Bottles” filled with water to raise funds for Nutrition 4 Education & Development (N4ED). Beyond fundraising, the project inspires empathy and global responsibility in young learners by connecting them with the realities of children growing up in marginalized communities.

Objectives / Goals

  • Raise funds to support N4ED’s programs for child health, nutrition, and development
  • Introduce school children to global inequalities and challenges faced by their peers
  • Foster values of empathy, servant leadership, and responsibility in youth
  • Strengthen long-term partnerships with schools for recurring annual initiatives

Target Audience / Beneficiaries

  • Primary school students in Switzerland who gain awareness and leadership skills
  • Vulnerable children and families in Ethiopia who benefit from funds raised for N4ED programs

Methodology / Approach
Students engage in decorating and selling “Magic Bottles,” making fundraising both creative and educational. Teachers guide classroom discussions on global issues, while the project bridges learning with action. By linking hands-on activities with meaningful impact, The Bubbles Project builds cross-cultural solidarity between children.

Impact / Expected Outcomes

  • Successful fundraising to support N4ED’s child development and nutrition programs
  • Increased global awareness among participating students about children’s rights and needs
  • Empowerment of young learners as active contributors to social change
  • Creation of an annual fundraising tradition with lasting educational value

Time
Launched in 2018 and 2019, with plans to run annually in collaboration with schools
