In a brilliant endeavor to generate more funds for families in need, Chaim V’Shalvah - Etania rents its accommodation on the 6th floor to skiers during the winter months. With your help in refurbishing the rooms, profits can be doubled every year.

With an improved entrance and dining area, guests can have a comfortable place to rest from the moment they arrive. Adding seating and lounge options in the lobby, as well as updates to the dining room, can help improve the experience tremendously.

Built in 1852, the Etania Synagogue welcomed Jews from around the globe. Over the years, the synagogue fell into disrepair, a shadow of its former glory. But with your help, we can restore this to the splendour it deserves.

The old villa, adjacent to the Chaim V’Shalva - Etania currently offers one large room without proper windows. This can easily be converted into additional guest suites & studios to welcome more children and families in need.

Visitors are often limited in their mobility, making adequate lift services not just a luxury, but a necessity. With currently 2 functioning lifts, this often leaves families or children without the ability to easily get around.

Having renovated 7 full and 5 mobile kitchens, we see the difference it makes to the children, having home-cooked meals. We now have 9 kitchens left to refurbish and with your help, more families and children can feel at home during their long stay.

Presently there are 60 bedrooms with only 24 bathrooms. If each bedroom would have a bathroom en-suite, this would attract more skiers during peak season, increasing proceeds to be used towards operational costs for children and families in need.

Most of the year, temperatures in Davos are below freezing, and our current heating system is long overdue for replacement. Smart energy systems can keep our guests warm and significantly reduce heating costs, leaving more funds for the families.
