Help children learn, belong and stay connected to their heritage
BolBol School is a nonprofit, tax-exempt educational association in Switzerland, dedicated to Persian language and cultural education, multilingualism and intercultural understanding.
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn their family's language, discover their cultural heritage and grow up with confidence in a multilingual and multicultural society. Your generosity helps us make education accessible to more children, develop creative learning resources and bring families together through language, music, art and cultural celebrations.
Every contribution, large or small, makes a difference.
Every child deserves a place
For some families, tuition fees are a significant financial burden. Financial circumstances should never prevent a child from learning their family's language and connecting with their cultural heritage.
In the 2026/27 school year, BolBol School supports 13 children in Zurich, Geneva and Bern:
- Four children attend our classes free of charge.
- Nine children benefit from reduced tuition fees.
The total value of these full and partial scholarships is CHF 17'232.20.
Our scholarship fundraising goal: CHF 20'000. With your support, we aim to cover these scholarships and keep offering education to families who need financial help, so that no child is excluded from learning because of money.

Tuition assistance
Every contribution helps a child keep learning. Your donation supports children whose families cannot afford the full tuition fees, and any amount is welcome.
General school support
Support BolBol School wherever it is needed most: our programmes and teachers, learning materials, cultural activities and the changing needs of our students and families.
Sponsor a child's education
Give a child a whole school year of language, culture and belonging: cover a child's full annual tuition, part of it, or contribute to our scholarship fund. The cost depends on the class and location; the yearly fees are on each class page.
To protect children's privacy, we administer the scholarships without sharing information that identifies a student.
Fund an educational project
Help us bring creative ideas to life: original Persian songs, illustrated materials such as worksheets, flashcards, stories and games, educational videos and animations, creative learning workshops, and cultural and intercultural projects. Our resources are researched, designed, tested in class and improved, based on our curriculum, the HSK/LCO framework and our teaching method.
Individuals, companies and foundations can contribute to a project or fund an entire one.
Make a donation
Choose an amount and what you would like to support. You get a Swiss QR-bill to pay with your banking app. For a full-year scholarship or a specific project, you are also welcome to contact us to discuss the amount.
