Founded in 2017, SWISSAID Zurich set itself the goal of tackling hunger, poverty and exploitation worldwide by raising awareness and running development campaigns in the greater Zurich area.
The association has launched many great campaigns: from a benefit football match between FC SWISSAID and a professional team, to cool videos like Robin Food or Stop blood gold, to panels on various topics and, most recently, the seed exhibition in collaboration with the group of volunteers from Public Eye.
The coronavirus pandemic put an end to almost all activities, as it did everywhere. Unfortunately, the association never recovered from this. Fewer and fewer members were actively involved, so the board and the general meeting decided to dissolve the association in February 2025.
