Rolf Widmer is an economist and social pedagogue. For forty years he has been consistently and imperturbably campaigning at local, national and international level for children and adolescents who cannot grow up in their own families.

Thousands of war orphans, institutionalized children, unaccompanied minor refugee children and other children with difficult lives could count on Rolf Widmer and on the organizations and staff led by him and directly or indirectly benefit from his commitment over the past forty years.
