Village Suisse ONG is a Swiss-based NGO, largely Scientology staffed [1] and financed,[2] with a stated mandate to help children in developing countries, to provide computers to persons in developing countries and to provide social integration for persons in Switzerland.
Village Suisse ONG and the Church of Scientology
Village Suisse ONG is associated with several events of the Church of Scientology[3] in the UN NGO community in Geneva, and provides support[4] to human rights training provided by the Church of Scientology offshoot "Youth for Understanding".[5][6]
The relationship of Village Suisse ONG[7] to the Church of Scientology caused media controversy[8] in 2009, when the UN Office at Geneva (UNOG) refused entrance of the Scientology group "Youth for Understanding" to the UN premises,[9] for a meeting which had been planned and organized by Village Suisse ONG.
In 2016, Village Suisse ONG was again noted by the Tribune de Geneve for holding a conference financed and supported by the Church of Scientology, claiming it to be a "Day of the NGOs", advertising the participation of persons who did not attend.
