Village Suisse ONG is a Swiss-based NGO has for a 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 also provides a local presence for Scientology in the UN NGO community[1] in Geneva, and provides support to human rights training provided by the Church of Scientology offshoot "Youth for Understanding"[2].

The relationship of Village Suisse ONG[3] to the Church of Scientology caused media controversy[4] in 2009, when the UN Office at Geneva (UNOG) refused entrance of the Scientology group "Youth for Understanding" to the UN premises, for a meeting which had been planned and organized by Village Suisse ONG.
